jangal hum aur kale baadal

aayā ik havā kā jhoñkā

yādeñ bahut sī le aayā

raat ke sannāTe kī ḳhushbū

ujlī sub.h kī chahkāreñ

sabz mulā.em pattoñ vaale bhīge tanoñ kā taaza lams

ūñche ghane jañgal ke andar

saañp se bal khāte rastoñ par

hoñToñ pe āñkhoñ meñ sajā.e

jhijak ḳhalish kī titlī ko

merā us kā tanhā saaya

vo lamha bhī yaad aayā jab

ham jaise hī bhūle-bhaTke

kaale mast siyah bādal

dhartī se milne kī ḳhātir

baras paḌe the peḌoñ par

phir kaisī saa.at thī aa.ī

ḳhauf na thā gum hone kā

tanhā tanhā chalne kā

jañgal meñ kho jaane kā

aaya ek hawa ka jhonka

yaaden bahut si le aaya

raat ke sannaTe ki KHushbu

ujli subh ki chahkaren

sabz mulaem patton wale bhige tanon ka taza lams

unche ghane jangal ke andar

sanp se bal khate raston par

honTon pe aankhon mein sajae

jhijak KHalish ki titli ko

mera us ka tanha saya

wo lamha bhi yaad aaya jab

hum jaise hi bhule-bhaTke

kale mast siyah baadal

dharti se milne ki KHatir

baras paDe the peDon par

phir kaisi saat thi aai

KHauf na tha gum hone ka

tanha tanha chalne ka

jangal mein kho jaane ka
