waqt ki zanjiron mein jakde
hum tum barson baad mile hain

lekin aisa lagta hai mujh ko
jaise pahli bar mile hain

pichhle pahar ki dhup wahi thi
sham ka aanchal dhalak raha tha

lambi hoti jati thi
san san san san bahti hawaen

dip jalane aati thin
raushan taron ki baraaten

chand ko gher ke lati thin
aaj bhi din ki dhup dhali hai

waqt ki pael chhanak uthi hai
chhan-chhan aawazon ko sun kar

unghte sae jag uthe hain
waqt ki zanjiron se kat kar

tut gae to jud na sakenge
aawazon ka kaun bharosa

khwabon ko tabiren de do
naghmon ki jhankaren sun kar

jag uthe to hosh mein aao
hum tum pahli bar mile hain

mere naghme waqt ki lai par
tum na suno to kaun sunega

hum tum barson baad mile hain
hum tum kitni bar mile hain

jaise pahli bar mile hain
