sawan mein ghabra jata hai

sāvan meñ ghabrā jaatā hai

dil merā sahrā jaatā hai

alif samajh meñ aa jaave to

sab kuchh paḌhnā aa jaatā hai

barf kā ik ik aañsū pī kar

dariyā vajd meñ aa jaatā hai

asl safar hai vahāñ se aage

jahāñ talak rasta jaatā hai

laḌkī mele meñ tanhā thī

soch ke dil baiThā jaatā hai

jab maiñ jañgal ho jaatā huuñ

mor nāchne aa jaatā hai

shāyad us ne dastak sun lī

dekho dar khultā jaatā hai

niind ke biin bajāte hī 'ashk'

bistar meñ saañp aa jaatā hai

sawan mein ghabra jata hai

dil mera sahra jata hai

alif samajh mein aa jawe to

sab kuchh paDhna aa jata hai

barf ka ek ek aansu pi kar

dariya wajd mein aa jata hai

asl safar hai wahan se aage

jahan talak rasta jata hai

laDki mele mein tanha thi

soch ke dil baiTha jata hai

jab main jangal ho jata hun

mor nachne aa jata hai

shayad us ne dastak sun li

dekho dar khulta jata hai

nind ke bin bajate hi 'ashk'

bistar mein sanp aa jata hai
