chehre jitne rup badalta rahta hai
aaine mein naqs nikalta rahta hai

zehn pe badhta jata hai sadiyon ka dabaw
lamha kaise karb mein dhalta rahta hai

dil hi nahin raushan to din kya niklega
suraj to tarikh badalta rahta hai

yaadon tanhai se baaten karti hain
sannata aawaz badalta rahta hai

ek lamhe ki haqiqat tak jaane ke liye
khwab kai sadiyon tak chalta rahta hai
