yahan gorich chalti hai
to jaise ruh chhilti hai

zamistan aa ke rukta hai
to ek ek rome dikhta hai

tajjub hai mujhe pal pal
ki ab ke sal wadi mein

hamari shaal wadi mein
sunahri dhup ab tak parbaton par raqs karti hai

abhi tak sans ki hiddat labon ko garm rakhti hai
ragon mein khun ka dauran ab tak hai dopahron sa

khizan ke zard chehre par shararat ab bhi baqi hai
abhi patton ne apne atlasi jame nahin badle

sisakti aur darti shamen ab tak muskuraati hain
kyun ab tak titliyan phulon pe aa ki khilkhilati hain

abhi nilahaten baadal ke dhoke mein nahin aain
abhi tak naddiyan kohre ke qabze mein nahin aain

guzishta sab mahinon ko
yahan sare makinon ko

ajab ye fikr lahiq hai
ye apne sard lahje mein abhi tak kyun nahin bola

ye us be-dard lahje mein abhi tak kyun nahin bola
december aa gaya hai kya
