Today's nazm is titled Patajhar (Autumn)

vo din bhii aane vaalaa hai
jab terii in kaalii aa.Nkho.n me.n
har jazbaa miT jaayegaa
tere baal ji.nhe.n dekhe.n to
saavaan kii ghanaghor ghaTaaye.n
aa.Nkho.n me.n laharaatii hai.n

ho.nTh rasiile
dhyaan me.n laakho.n phuulo.n kii
mahakaar jagaaye.n
vo din duur nahii.n jab in par
patajhar kii rut chhaa jaayegii

aur us patajhar ke mausam kii
kisii akelii shaam kii chup me.n
gaye dino.n kii yaad aayegii
jaise ko_ii kisii ja.ngal me.n
giit suhaane gaataa hai

- tujh ko paas bulaataa hai
