mausam to badalta hai badal jae to kya ho
phulon se jo khushbu bhi nikal jae to kya ho

jata hun kadi dhup mein parchhain ke hamrah
sahra mein ye parchhain bhi jal jae to kya ho

ye mashwira-e-zabt bhi taslim hai lekin
aansu meri aankhon se nikal jae to kya ho

mahtab sahaara hai shab-e-zist ka 'fakhir'
ye zard sa mahtab bhi dhal jae to kya ho
