ye waqt waqt ki baat hai
jo nabard azma-e-waqt tha
aaj saaheb-e-kamaal hai
meri zaat hasb-e-haal hai
mujhe ghum nahi is taur ka
ye kul kainaat per halaal hai
adam ki takhlikh hai imtihan
ashraf azal se pur-khayal hai
bana diya hume shahid-e-waqt
ab na koi justaju na sawal hai
hai humawaqt mujh may tu hi tu
jaanti hun tu hi mera khayal hai
zindagi dekh kitni mokhtasar hai
insan kitna be-khauf-o-khatar hai
uske baghair teri zaat darbadar hai
be-aab-o-gaya,dil-geer tar-batar hai
------------------------------------
kabhi zindagi lage paheli
kabhi lage zindagi saheli
gar ghaur se isey sunoge
zindagi ko pehechan loge
---------------------------
tumhara lafz lafz dekho
baz-gasht ban gaya hai
mai sarapa ankh ban gaii hun
aur lub hain ke sil gaye hain
--------------------------------
zaruraton ki zuban nahi hai
wahan zaruri bayan nahi hai
Zaya karne se kya hai haasil
waqt apna zyaan nahi hai
ye duniya ke masghale hain
gar haath agaye inhein hum
ta-umar dhundhte hi rahoge
umarbhar ka saman nahi hai
ajab haal hai adam ke dil ka
deewana lut kar hi lutf paaye
kahe,sauda-sari kahan nahi hai
apni bebasi bhi lage hai tamasha
apni aqal ke matam kadey per
kya duniya nuha-kinaan nahi hai
lun-tarani ki adat,hai badi purani
ek tere dum se baatil ki zindagani
ye ahal-e-dil ki zubaan nahi hai
aye bashar,namaz teri ek ahad hai
bande ki kasmakash roz ek jahad hai
kya yehi tera ahad-o-paiman nahi hai
jaane waala jaate jaate keh gaya hai
in zulmaton ko karde tera dil munawar
is ke baghair koi kamraan nahi hai
