Bijli, baadal, aab : August,
Sau heelay, be-taab August.

Zard hai dil ki shaakh toh kya ?
Haraa-haraa shadaab August.

Baadal, rang, ufuq, aawaaz,
Khaabo'n ka girdaab August.

Aakhir ek-din khoon se hi ,
Likhh baithaa sailaab August !(1)

'Mayee-gazeeda'(2) shahro'n ka, 
Jangal-jangal khaab August.
