khizan mausam nahin hai
ek lamha hai ki jis ki aarzu men
sabz patte
hava ki ahaton par kaan dharte hain
guzarte vaqt men saat-ba-saat
nae pairahanon men
gulabi aur gahre surkh unnabi
dahakte khushnuma rangon se le kar zard hone tak
kabhi dhime kabhi unche suron men baat karti
khushbuon men bas-basa kar
hava ke saath mahv-e-raqs hona chahte hain
zamin ka rizq ban jaane se pahle
vahi ik ajnabi varaftagi aur raqs ka lamha
kahin par daur-e-ainda ke mausam ki samaat men
kisi soe hue ik biij men
khvahish numu ki sar uthati hai
bahut hi pyaar se har shakh ke patte se kahti hai
ki ab rizq-e-zamin ban kar
kisi ik narm konpal ki numu ka aasra ban ja
khizan mausam nahin hai
ik masarrat-khez takhliq-e-amal ka aasra hai
