SITAM-AE-YAAR

Sawan ki wo pehli barish,
Aur kookna koyal ka fir,
Mitti ki wo sondhi khushboo,
Aur lalchana wo man ka fir,
Door hain wo wahan aur tanha
se hum hain yahan,
Door rehkar bhi humen wo yaad
aana unka fir,
Roothne manane ke the wo daur,
Rooth jana wo humara aur manana unka fir,
Mausam ki ye jyadti aur uspe unka ye sitam,
Ki humne bulaya roj unko,
Aur na aana unka fir.

         Sawan ki wo pehli barish,
         Aur kookna koyal ka fir......
