basant ki aamad

phir nazar aati hai sabze ki faza mein dur tak
aur khushbu se mahakti hain hawaen dur tak
jati hain qumri-o-bulbul ki sadaen dur tak
niche upar aage pichhe daen-baen dur tak


hain tarannum-rez yaksar shakh-o-barg-o-bar aaj
ban gaya hai resha resha tar-e-mausiqar aaj
gulshanon mein hain urusan-e-bahaar aarasta
gulban-o-nakhl-o-nihaal-o-shakhsar aarasta


sabza-e-gul se hain dasht-o-kohsar aarasta
ho gaya sara jahan aaina-dar aarasta
har lab-e-ju par hain yun sarw-e-khiraman sainkadon
goya shishe mein utar aai hain pariyan sainkadon


dahr se madum jade ke nishan hone lage
har taraf aasar-e-sar-garmi ayan hone lage
jada-paimai manazil ka rawan hone lage
munjamid dariyaon ke pani rawan hone lage


pattharon mein josh-e-tasir-e-numu paida hua
har rag-e-afsurda mein taza lahu paida hua
ai wafa khulte hain tujh par aaj kya kya raaz dekh
chal chaman mein bulbul-o-gul ke niyaz-o-naz dekh


jumbish-e-mauj-e-nasim-e-subh ka eajaz dekh
tair-e-be-baal-o-par ki hasrat-e-parwaz dekh
chhod ghaflat aur mahw-e-garm-joshi tu bhi ho
arsa-e-hasti mein garm-e-taza-koshi tu bhi ho
