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
