Ibteda!

wo mausam laut aaye hain,

wo rang laut aaye hain

hawaon me tazkirein hain,

wo humdum laut aaye hain..

khawaabon ke parinde hain,

aankhon ke aasman hain.

maazi ke samandar se

wo nakhuda laut aaye hain

wo barq se girte the,

sazde teri mushtaaq ke.

wo mussarat ki kaliyan hai

wo abr laut aaye hain

wo chuppi ke qafas the,

wo dam todti kahaniyan..

ek khoyi huyi ghazal ke

wo misre laut aaye hain

wo mausam laut aaye hain,

wo rang laut aaye hain

hawaon me tazkirein hain,

wo humnafas laut aaye hain..
