waqt ne ye kaha hai ruk ruk kar

aa ke patthar to mere sehn mein do-chaar gire

wo alwidaa ka manzar wo bhigti palken

dard ke mausam ka kya hoga asar anjaan par

jati hai dhup ujle paron ko sameT ke

kahta hai aaftab zara dekhna ki hum

bas ek raat Thaharna hai kya gila kije

socho to silwaTon se bhari hai tamam ruh

pyar ki jot se ghar ghar hai charaghan warna

wahan ki raushniyon ne bhi zulm Dhae bahut

kitne hi zaKHm hain mere ek zaKHm mein chhupe

malbus KHush-numa hain magar jism khokhle

aaj bhi shayad koi phulon ka tohfa bhej de

waqt ki Dor KHuda jaane kahan se TuTe

is shor-e-talatum mein koi kis ko pukare
