qabil-e-did hai mashshatgi-e-fasl-e-bahaar
zulf-e-sumbul mein naya husn nazar aata hai

surkhi-e-chehra-e-gul se hai shafaq-zar chaman
rang shabnam ka bhi kuchh surkh hua jata hai

dekh kar surkhi-e-rukhsar-e-gulistan gulchin
apne dastur mein tarmim kiye jata hai

mutanabbe bhi kiye jata hai har patte ko
nam bhi fasl-e-bahaaran ka liye jata hai

zer-e-tartib hai aain-e-chaman-arai
ye haqiqat hai ki takmil abhi baqi hai

patte patte pe abhi sabt nahin naqsh-e-bahaar
yani ijmal ki tafsil abhi baqi hai

baghbani abhi lazzat-kash-e-gul-chini hai
dekh kar dast-e-hawas phul laraz jate hain

itne sayyaad hain saf basta ki murghan-e-chaman
aashiyanon se nikalte hue ghabraate hain

gul-faroshi hai abhi fasl-e-bahaaran ki mushir
lala-o-gul ka tabassum hai hirasan ab tak

ladkhadati hui chalti hai gulistan mein nasim
phul khilte hain to hote hain pasheman ab tak

yahi tarikh-e-chaman hai yahi tarikh-e-bahaar
pahle do chaar hi phulon pe nikhaar aata hai

aankhen malta hua phir nind se uthta hai shabab
patte patte mein nazar ru-e-nigar aata hai

le ke phir god mein ghunchon ko ye kahti hai saba
main tumhaari hun ki gulchin ki tumhin ghaur karo

daur-e-takmil-e-bahaar aaega aaega zarur
intizar aur karo aur karo aur karo
