**"Ye December ki raaton ka sannata, kuch kehta hai,
Dil ke veeran sheher mein ek dard barasta hai.
Chup si hawaon mein koi dastak sunayi deti hai,
Guzra waqt har shikast ko dhundhla kar jaati hai.
Yeh chand bhi aaj udaas lagta hai, jaise khud mein gum hai,
Har sitara asmaan mein, kisi khaamoshi ka shajar hai.
Kya baat hai iss mausam ki jo har baat yaad dilata hai,
Ek dard, ek muskaan, dono ka saath nibhaata hai.
Waqt chal pada hai apni raftaar ke saath aage,
Magar dil ab bhi uljha hai purani yaadon ke saaye.
Ae zindagi, bas itni guzaarish hai tujhse,
Iss December mein bhi kuch nayi khushbu laaye hawaayein."**
