ab ke yaro barkha-rut ne manzar kya dikhlae hain

hawa ke ruKH par charagh-e-ulfat ki lau baDha kar chala gaya hai

uski aankhen hare samundar uski baaten barf

na wo iqrar karta hai na wo inkar karta hai

kabhi aabaad karta hai kabhi barbaad karta hai

phir nae KHwab bunen phir nai rangat chahen

surat hai wo aisi ki bhulai nahin jati

pahle si ab baat kahan hai

umr sari yunhi guzari hai

gai ruton ko bhi yaad rakhna nai ruton ke bhi bab paDhna
