baadal

chhā.e hue haiñ chaar taraf pāra-hā-e-abr

āġhosh meñ liye hue duniyā-e-āb-o-rañg

mere liye hai un kī garaj meñ surūd-o-chañg

paiġhām-e-imbisāt hai mujh ko sadā-e-abr

uTThī hai halke halke suroñ meñ navā-e-abr

aur qatr-hā-e-āb bajāte haiñ jal-tarañg

gahrā.iyoñ meñ ruuh kī jaagī hai har umañg

dil meñ utar rahe haiñ mire naġhm-hā-e-abr

muddat se luT chuke the tamannā ke bār-o-barg

chhāyā huā thā ruuh pe goyā sukūt-e-marg

chhoḌā hai aaj ziist ko ḳhvāb-e-jumūd ne

un bādaloñ se taaza huī hai hayāt phir

mere liye javān hai ye kā.enāt phir

shādāb kar diyā hai dil un ke surūd ne!

chhae hue hain chaar taraf para-ha-e-abr

aaghosh mein liye hue duniya-e-ab-o-rang

mere liye hai un ki garaj mein surud-o-chang

paigham-e-imbisat hai mujh ko sada-e-abr

uTThi hai halke halke suron mein nawa-e-abr

aur qatr-ha-e-ab bajate hain jal-tarang

gahraiyon mein ruh ki jagi hai har umang

dil mein utar rahe hain mere naghm-ha-e-abr

muddat se luT chuke the tamanna ke bar-o-barg

chhaya hua tha ruh pe goya sukut-e-marg

chhoDa hai aaj zist ko KHwab-e-jumud ne

un baadalon se taza hui hai hayat phir

mere liye jawan hai ye kaenat phir

shadab kar diya hai dil un ke surud ne!
