ye zard mausam ke khushk patte
hawa jinhen le gai uda kar

agar kabhi un ko dekh pao
to soch lena

ki un mein har barg ki numu mein
ziyan gaya araq shakh-e-gul ka

kabhi ye sarsabz konplen the
kabhi ye shadab bhi rahe hain

khile hue hont ki tarah narm aur shagufta
bahut dinon tak

ye sabz patte
hawa ke relon mein bebasi se tadap chuke hain

magar ye ab khushk ho rahe hain
magar ye ab khushk ho chuke hain

agar kabhi is taraf se guzro
to dekh lena

barahna shakhen hawa ke dil mein gadhi hui hain
ye ab tumhaare liye nahin hain

nahin hain
