phulon se saj gai kahin sabza pahan liya
barish hui to dharti ne kya kya pahan liya

jab se padhi chatai-nashinon ki zindagi
mota mahin jo bhi mila kha pahan liya

ek jism hai jo roz badalta hai kuchh libas
ek ruh hai ki is ne jo pahna pahan liya

aisa laga ki khud bhi bada ho gaya hun main
jab bhi badon ka main ne utara pahan liya

khud mil gaya hai zehn ko manzil ka har suragh
qadmon ne jab safar ka irada pahan liya

main ne bhi aankh pher li us ki taraf se aaj
us ne bhi aaj dusra chehra pahan liya

be-ikhtiyar ho gae jab bhi hamare ashk
ghabra ke hum ne aankhon pe chashma pahan liya
