lamha lamha ek nai tafsir hai
zindagi kaisi teri taswir hai

dekhe deti hai kya ab ye sadi
har kisi ke hath mein shamshir hai

aap mere samne baithe hain ye
khwab hai ya khwab ki tabir hai

aaine par guftugu mat kijiye
aaina na-qabil-e-taskhir hai

tutna girna bikharna ek din
har imarat ki yahi taqdir hai
