Barsat ki ek raat

ye barsat ye mausam-e-shadmani
KHas-o-KHar par phaT paDi hai jawani

bhaDakta hai rah rah ke soz-e-mohabbat
jhama-jham barasta hai pur-shor pani

faza jhumti hai ghaTa jhumti hai
daraKHton ko zau barq ki chumti hai

thirakte hue abr ka jazb tauba
ki daman uThae zamin ghumti hai

kaDakti hai bijli chamakti hain bunden
lapakta hai kaunda damakti hain bunden

rag-e-jaan pe rah rah ke lagti hain choTen
chhama-chham KHala mein khanakti hain bunden

falak ga raha hai zamin ga rahi hai
kaleje mein har lai chubhi ja rahi hai

mujhe pa ke is mast shab mein akela
ye rangin ghaTa tir barsa rahi hai

chamakta hai bujhta hai tharra raha hai
bhaTakne ki jugnu saza pa raha hai

abhi zehn mein tha ye raushan taKHayyul
faza mein jo uDta chala ja raha hai

lachak kar sambhalte hain jab abr-pare
baraste hain daman se dum-dar tare

machalti hai rah rah ke baalon mein bijli
gulabi hue ja rahe hain kinare

faza jhum kar rang barsa rahi hai
har ek sans shoala bani ja rahi hai

kabhi is tarah yaad aati nahin thi
wo jis tarah is waqt yaad aa rahi hai

bhala lutf kya manzar-e-pur-asar de
ki ashkon ne aankhon pe Dale hain parde

kahin aur ja kar baras mast baadal
KHuda tera daman jawahir se bhar de
