sardi barish ke baad aati hai
ek shagufa naya khilati hai

din sikudta hai raat badhti hai
kohre ki hukmarani hoti hai

is mein shabnam tapakti hai gul par
is se hota hai khushk gulshan-e-tar

is mein aata hai barg-e-gul pe shabab
is mein khilte hain har tarah ke gulab

ye dikhati hai jab asar apna
sara mahaul hota hai thanda

jab hawa khub thandi chalti hai
jaan aafat mein sab ki aati hai

bachche budhe jawan mard o zan
sare mahsus karte hain uljhan

jism jab un ka tharaata hai
dant apne har ek bajata hai

ya to kambal mein raat katte hain
ya razai mein munh chhupate hain

shab ko chulha gharon mein jalta hai
din mein suraj se chain milta hai

shaal muflar se milti hai rahat
coat sweater se badhti hai chahat

jab hawa sard sard chalti hai
soch 'sahil' ki nazm banti hai
