saare mausam badal ga.e shāyad
aur ham bhī sambhal ga.e shāyad
jhiil ko kar ke māhtāb supurd
aks pā kar bahal ga.e shāyad
ek Thahrāv aa gayā kaisā
zāviye hī badal ga.e shāyad
apnī lau meñ tapā ke ham ḳhud ko
mom ban kar pighal ga.e shāyad
kāñptī lau qarār paane lagī
jhoñke aa kar nikal ga.e shāyad
ham havā se bachā rahe the jinheñ
un charāġhoñ se jal ga.e shāyad
ab ke barsāt meñ bhī dil ḳhush hai
hijr ke ḳhauf Tal ga.e shāyad
saaf hone lage sabhī manzar
ashk āñkhoñ se Dhal ga.e shāyad
bārish-e-sañg jaise bārish-e-gul
saare patthar pighal ga.e shāyad
vo 'alīnā' badal gayā thā bahut
is liye ham sambhal ga.e shāyad
