rukhsat
ai hawa-e-yakh-basta

phagun ki hawa gati aai
par khol ke jagi angdai

baghon mein aam ki shakhon par
phir man lalchate baur lage

bachpan ko shararat phir sujhi
sardi se thithuri gathdi si

kambakht khataen phir sankin
koyal minqar mein kuk liye

khushbu ki jasamat dhund rahi
pagal-pan ki taswir hui

phir man jangal mein
mor ne raqs ko dawat di

sukdi simti shiryanon mein
phir maujen hiloren lene lagin

phir lams-e-hawa ne dahkai
mitti mein numu ki chingari

lekin jaanan
ye hariyali

kyon ganw se shahar nahin aati
man galiyare mein nahin gata

ektare wala banjara
