saaqee kuchh aaj tujh ko khabar hai basant kee
har soo bahaar pesh-e-nazar hai basant kee
sarason jo phool utthee hai chashm-e-qayaas mein
phoole-phale shaamil hain basantee libaas mein
patte jo zard zard hain sone ke paat hain
sadabarg se talaee kiran phool maat hain
hain choodiyon kee jod basantee kalaee mein
ban ke bahaar aaee hai dast-e-hinaee mein
mastee bhare dilon kee umangen na poochhie
kya mantiqen hain kya hain tarangen na poochhie
maathe pe husn-khez hai jalva gulaal ka
bindee se auj par hai sitaara jamaal ka
gendon se mail-e-gul-e-baazee haseen hain
sar ke ubhaar par se dupatte maheen hain
aks-e-naqaab zeenat-e-rukhsaar ho gaya
zevar jo seem ka tha tala-kaar ho gaya
sarason ke lahalahaate hain khet is bahaar mein
nargis ke phool phool uthe laala-zaar mein
aavaaz hai papeehon kee mastee bharee huee
tootee ke bol sun ke tabeet haree huee
koyal ke jode karate hain chuhalen suroor se
aate hain taan udaate hue door door se
baur aam ke hain yoon chaman-e-kaenaat mein
motee ke jaise guchchhe hon zar-kaar paat mein
bheron kee goonj mast hai har kisht-zaar mein
bansee bajaate kishn hai goya bahaar mein
kesar kusoom kee khoob dil-afaza bahaar hai
gendon kee har chaman mein do-rooya qataar hai
ik aag see lagaee hai tesoo ne phool ke
kya zard zard phool khile hain babool ke
hai isht devatao ke mandir saje hue
hain zard zard phoolon se kul dar saje hue
bas dev-jee ke laal kee jhaankee ajeeb hai
aanand be-hisaab dilon ko naseeb hai
bansee jadaav sone kee lab se milee huee
dil kee kalee kalee hai nazar mein khilee huee
peetaambar nafees kamar mein kasa hua
khushaboo se haar phool kee mandir basa hua
shaanon pe bal pade hue zulf-e-siyaah ke
raadha se baar baar ishaare nigaah ke
baankee adaen dekh ke dil lot-pot hai
rutakaam istree ke kaleje pe chot hai
kaanon mein kundalon kee chamak hai jadaav se
raadha lajaee jaatee hai chanchal subhaav se
pyaaree ka haath apanee bagal mein lie hue
aankhen sharaab-e-husn-e-javaanee pie hue
dil raadhika ka baada-e-ulfat se choor hai
kuhanee se thelane kee ada ka zuhoor hai
chupakee khadee hai kishn ke rukh par nigaah hai
hai pahaloo-e-jigar mein jagah dil mein raah hai
ulfat bharee jo bansee kee jaanib nazar gaee
goya basant kee raag kee dhun mast kar gaee
is chhab pe is singaar pe dil se nisaar ufuq
qurbaan ek baar nahin laakh baar ufuq
ai kishn naazireen ko mubaarak basant ho
khela jo apane vo abad tak basant ho
