aaya hai bahaar ka zamana
baghon ke nikhaar ka zamana

kaliyan kya kya chatak rahi hain
sari raushen mahak rahi hain

halki halki ye un ki khushbu
phaili hui hai chaman mein har su

chidiyan gati hain git pyare
sunte hain chaman mein phul sare

shakhon ka bana liya hai jhula
phulon se lada hua hai jhula

konpal har ek hai kaisi pyari
sabzi mein jhalak rahi hai surkhi

kitni rahat-faza hua hai
goya jannat ka dar khula hai

khush khush har ek aadmi hai
har shai mein bala ki dilkashi hai

ye subh ka dil-fareb manzar
ye sham ka husn ruh-parwar

ye raat ko chandni ka aalam
allah re be-khudi ka aalam

kaisi dilchasp chandni hai
chadar ek nur ki tani hai

har dil mein umang kis qadar hai
sab par hi bahaar ka asar hai

sadkon pe jo log ja rahe hain
ghazlen 'afsar' ki gar rahe hain
