kya haal kahen us mausam ka
jab jins-e-jawani sasti thi
jis phul ko chumo khulta tha
jis shai ko dekho hansti thi
jina sachcha jina tha
hasti ain hasti thi
afsana jadu afsun tha
ghaflat ninden masti thi
un bite dinon ki baat hai ye
jab dil ki basti basti thi
ghaflat ninden hasti thi
aankhen kya paimane the
har rose jawani bikti thi
har sham-o-sahar baiane the
har KHar mein ek but-KHana tha
har phul mein sau mai-KHane the
kali kali zulfen thin
gore gore shane the
un bite dinon ki baat hai ye
jab dil ki basti basti thi
gore gore shane the
halki-phulki banhen thin
har-gam pe KHalwat-KHane the
har moD pe ishrat-gahen thin
tughyan KHushi ke aansu the
takmil-e-tarab ki aahen thin
ishwe chuhlen ghamze the
paltin KHushiyan chahin thin
un bite dinon ki baat hai ye
jab dil ki basti basti thi
Nazm
Bite hue din
