Ye barishain bhi tum si hain,
Jo baras gayi tou bahaar hain,
Jo thehar gayi tou qaraar hain,
Kabhi aa gayi yunhi be’sabab,
Kabhi chaa gayi yunhi roz-o-shab,
Kabhi shor hai, kabhi chup si hain,
Ye barishain bhi tum si hain,
Raat ko ik dabi hui si raakh ko,
Kabhi yun hua ke bujha dia,
Kabhi khud se khud ko jala dia,
Kahin boond boond mein gum si hain,
Ye barishain bhi tum si hain
