bahaar-e-basant

mausam bahaar kaa hai zamaana basant kaa

bulbul sunaa rahaa hai taraana basant kaa

'unvaa.n na.e na.e hai.n chaman me.n bahaar ke

gul kaa varaq-varaq hai fasaana basant kaa

Guncho.n kii muTThiyaa.n hai.n jo zar se bharii hu.ii

gulchii.n luTaa rahaa hai KHazaana basant kaa

saaGar ba-kaf chaman me.n hai.n phuulo.n kii Daaliyaa.n

piine ko mil gayaa hai bahaana basant kaa

gulzaar me.n bahaar ba-daaman hai har hasii.n

rashk-e-iram hai aa.iinaa-kHaana basant kaa

sumbul kii kakulo.n kaa sulajhnaa muhaal thaa

baad-e-bahaar ban ga.ii mahsaama basant kaa

sarso.n ke phuul khil ga.e kheto.n me.n jaa-bajaa

ik KHirman-e-muraad hai daana basant kaa

Tesuu pe bahaar gulo.n par nikhaar hai

hai ab chaman chaman me.n Thikaana basant kaa

tishna-labo.n ke haal pe terii nazar nahii.n

kyaa saaqiyaa basant kii tujh ko KHabar nahii.n

sardii kii rafta-rafta javaanii hii Dhal rahii

hai barf kohsaar ke sar se pighal rahii

lutf-e-bahaar kyuu.n na ho mausam hai mo'tadil

sau-sau tarah uma.ng hai dil me.n machal rahii

ik jumbish-e-nazar se hai naira.ng-e-inqilaab

duniyaa-e-husn-o-’ishq hai karvaT badal rahii

saaqii kii chashm-e-mast ke andaaz dekh kar

shiishe kii kanTaro.n me.n hai sahbaa uchhal rahii

kis naaz se sabza-e-begaana KHvaab me.n

baad-e-bahaar sahn-e-chaman me.n hai chal rahii

baad-e-sabaa kii laGzish mastaana dekhiye

gir kar ravish-ravish pe hai kyaa-kyaa sambhal rahii

khil-khil ke har kalii se nikaltii hai buu-e-naaz

yaa naa-muraad dil kii hai hasrat nikal rahii

garmii se husn kii ruKH-e-gul hai 'araq 'araq

us par nasiim-e-naaz se pa.nkhaa hai jhal rahii

'kaifii' ruto.n me.n raaj ritu hai basant kii

har shoKH har shajar me.n numuu hai basant kii

mausam bahaar kaa hai zamaana basant kaa

bulbul sunaa rahaa hai taraana basant kaa
