wo mausam hai ki khuban-e-chaman bante-sanwarte hain
ye aalam hai ki jaise rang taswiron mein bharte hain

hai khwabida jo sabza aaina-khane mein shabnam ke
nafas-duzdida baad-e-subh ke jhonke guzarte hain

par-e-tuti pe hota hai dum-e-taus ka dhoka
hawa se ud ke barg-e-gul jo sabze par bikharte hain

mila hai sabza-e-nau-khez ko kya rang-e-zangari
hawa lagne se jis ki zakhm-e-dil lala ke bharte hain

shagufa-rez ho kar daliyan madhosh karti hain
ki mai-kash jaante hain taq se shishe utarte hain

nazakat se ada se jhum kar kahti hai shakh-e-gul
yunhi ek jam pi kar rang maston ke nikharte hain

bashashat kah rahi hai chehra-e-gul ki idhar dekho
yunhi mahfil mein hans dete hain paimane jo bharte hain

chaman ki badh ke shakhen abr se karti hain gul-bazi
gulon ki aaina-dari par-e-taus karte hain

guman hota hai ki lashkar-kushi baad-e-bahaari ne
zirah-posh aab ho jata hai jab baadal guzarte hain

dam-e-subh-e-bahaari hai rukh-e-khur par naqab-afgan
kisi aaine par tar-e-nafas jaise bikharte hain

wahin ja kar thamega karwan-e-lala-o-gul bhi
nasim-e-subh ke jhonke jahan ja kar thaharte hain

nihaalan-e-chaman kar lenge qabza sare aalam par
wahan se phir nahin hatte jahan pe panw dharte hain

zamin par jal phailaya hai koson zulf-e-sumbul ne
anadil in dinon aate hue gulshan mein darte hain

jawab-e-jashn-e-jam hai garmi-e-hangama-e-gulshan
ki le kar kashti-e-mai takht pariyon ke utarte hain

anadil mil chuke hain khak mein jo kya khabar un ko
ki shakhen jhumti hain phul turbat par bikharte hain
