apni tarikh ke ahramon mein utar kar dekhen
azab-e-musalsal ki ye fasl

hamare pas tarikh ki nishani hai
ya surkh siyahi se hamari nai tarikh likhi ja rahi hai

wo aankhen, wo hath, wo chehre
ab kaun dhunde?

jinhon ne hadson ko yahan chalna sikhaya
agar wo mil bhi jaen

to unhen kaun pahchanega?
unhon ne to apne chehre sab mein bant diye

ab to har taraf ek jaise hi chehre hain
har koi be-chehra hai

yahan to bas ek hi waqt aa ke thahra hai
khasaron ka kada pahra hai

magar mumkin hia
be-chehragi ke azab ke us par

hum sab ke chehre qaid hon
jis din sab ko apne chehre mil gae

to dil bhi mil jaenge
