Barsaat mein rim jhim rim jhim karti yeh boondein

Barsaat mein rim jhim rim jhim karti yeh boondein,
Kuch suron mein apni hi sur mila rahi hain.

Hum inn boondon mein kuch beete' hue' palon ko yaad karte' hain,
Jawani mein apni uss nadaani ko bhi yaad karte' hain.

Kya alam tha woh bhi,
Jab kaale' ghane' baadalon mein ek paigham chupa rehta tha,
Aaj iss umar mein uss paigham ko phir dhoondte' hain.

Rim jhim ki wahi dhun,
Ab shayad kuch aur kehna chahte' hain.

"Tum ab woh nahi ho jo tab the',
Baat tab kuch aur thi aur ab kuch aur hai",
Mujhe' shayad yeh samjhana chahte' hain.

Hum apne' aap ko kisi tarah samjha kar,
Rim jhim ke' iss sur ko apne' zehen mein sama lete' hain.

Aur unn beete' hue' waqt ki nadaani ko,
Ek pyaara sa khwab samajh kar,
Mann ki mann muskura lete' hain.
