yun nahin wo nazar nahin aata
hum ko didar kar nahin aata

waqt achchha zarur aata hai
par kabhi waqt par nahin aata

sirf rona hi mujh ko aata hai
aur koi hunar nahin aata

jo bhi jata hai us ke kuche mein
phir wo bar-e-digar nahin aata

us ka jalwa bhi ek tamasha hai
nazar aata hai par nahin aata

us ne jate hue kaha 'sahir'!
waqt phir laut kar nahin aata
