Baarishe'n zindaan,qaidi hai July,
Ai mere dil ! tere-jaisi hai July !!

Dard ki shaakho'n mei'n rimjhim jaagti hai,
Pattiyo'n ke saath bajti hai July.

Koelo'n(1) ko bhej deti hai sikhaa-kar ,
Phir 'Mayee'(2) ka kaam karti hai July.

Baadlo'n mei'n bijliyo'n ki raqs-gaahe'n,
Saaghro'n mei'n aag bharti hai July.

Kohsaaro'n-jaisi yaado'n ki chataane'n,
Waadi-e-dil mei'n bhatakti hai July.
