sannate ki ek kahani hoti hai
bhuli-bisri yaad suhani hoti hai

kuchh baaten aisi hi jo be-mani hain
kuchh qisson mein ab bhi nani hoti hai

diwaron par tange calendar khasta hain
tarikhon mein ek nishani hoti hai

rishton ke tane-bane se matlab kya
be-matlab hi kuchh nadani hoti hai

mausam dariya jangal sahra ganw 'shakil'
sab ki sifat jaani pahchani hoti hai
