Unche darje ka sailab

zamin ka husn sabza hai
magar ab sabz pate zard ho kar jhaDte jate hain

bahaaren dair se aati hain
jugnu hai na titli KHushbuon se rang ruThe hain

jahan jangal hua karte the aur barish dhanak le kar utarti thi
jahan barsat mein koyal, papihe chahchahate the

wahan ab KHak uDti hai
daraKHton ki kami se aa gai hai dhup mein shiddat

faza ka mehrban haala pighalta ja raha hai
aasman tanbe mein Dhalta ja raha hai

is liye be-mehr mausam ab satate hain
dhuen ke, gard ke, aaludgi ke, shor ke mausam

gali, kuchon, gharon mein kar-KHanon mein bas ab
saDak par shor bahta hai

sunai hi nahin deta hamara dil jo kahta hai
mohabbat ka parinda aaj-kal KHamosh rahta hai

parinde pyas mein Dube hain aur pani nahin pite
ki dariyaon ki shiryanon mein ab shaffaf pani ki jagah aaludgi ka zahr hai

hamein jab bahr o bar ki hukmarani di gai hai to ye hum ko sochna hoga
zaminon, paniyon, mahaul ki bimariyon ka koi mudawa hai

kahin in ka sabab hum to nahin bante?
sabab koi bhi ho aaKHir mudawa kuchh to karna hai

ye taswir-e-jahan hai rang is mein hum ko bharna hai
