Jab KHabar Hi Na Koi Mausam-E-Gul Ki Aai

jab ḳhabar hi na koi mausam-e-gul ki aa.i

kaghzi phuul pe kuchh soch ke titli aa.i

sabz patton ne bhi shaḳhon se baghavat kar di

aaj is shahr men kis zor ki andhi aa.i

ab ye basti hui divaron ki kasrat ka shikar

ab yahan rahne men be-tarah ḳharabi aa.i

qahqaha shab ne lagaya hai baḌe tanz ke saath

sub.h jab apni riha.i pe bhi roti aa.i

aankh ik abr ke TukḌe ko taras jaati thi

barishon se jahan ab itni tabahi aa.i

rat-bhar sub.h ki ummid pe zinda tha mariz

sub.h hote hi use aḳhiri hichki aa.i

mar gaya habs ki basti men junhi koi ‘nasim’

nauha-ḳhvani ko vahan taaza hava bhi aa.ijab ḳhabar hi na koi mausam-e-gul ki aa.i
