mausam bahen khol raha hai
gadrai hai sham basanti

din chupke se dekh raha hai
lamhon ka ek thaal sunahra

dil ne kaise tham rakha hai
aanchal mein hai ek sitara

jhilmil jhilmil bol raha hai
dhak dhak dhak dhak ek hi boli

dil ka pinjra khol rahi hai
bechaini ka raqs anokha

ek ek sar ki tal ajab hai
khushbu ki bhi aanch ghazab hai

sara aangan dahak raha hai
nazm sab kuchh nahin likh sakti

sar nehwdae
chabaati rahti hai nakhun

kharonchti rahti hai dil
bhigi hui hatheli se

masal deti hai sare manzar
hawa khak bhar deti hai

nazm ki aankhon mein
patthar ki sil

kuchal deti hai nazm ki poren
aur nazm katbe nahin likh sakti
