waqt udne ka hai girwi baal-o-par kyunkar rakhen
hum hain fitrat se musafir koi ghar kyunkar rakhen

jab zarurat thi kisi shane ki hum ko na mila
ab mila to sochte hain us pe sar kyunkar rakhen

waqt khud ek rahzan hai zindagi ki rah mein
pas apne ishq sa lal-o-gohar kyunkar rakhen

jab talak hai sans hum ko zakhm khane aur hain
ek gham ki yaad mein phir chashm-e-tar kyunkar rakhen

tujh ko pa len ya ki kho den hai ziyan donon tarah
phir bhala ai jaan-e-jaan teri khabar kyunkar rakhen
