din guzarta nazar nahin aata raat kate nahin katti raat aur din ke is tasalsul mein umr bante se bhi nahin batti teri aawaz mein tare se kyon chamakne lage kis ki aankhon ke tarannum ko chura lai hai kis ki aaghosh ki thandak pe daka dala hai kis ki banhon se tu shabnam ko utha lai hai din bahar-haal bahar-taur guzar jata hai sham aati hai to ajab rang le ke aati hai ek tanhai jo maut ki tarah khamosh har nai sham naya bhes badal aati hai han koi aur hoga tu ne jo dekha hoga hum nahin aag se bach bach ke guzarne wale sahar nasib mein ho to sahar milegi zarur wagarna zindagi kat jaegi bas raat ki raat na intizar na aahat na tamanna na umid zindagi hai ki yun behis hoti jati hai
