waqt ki kheti hain hum
waqt bota hai ugata palta hai

aur badhne ke mawaqe bhi hamein deta hai waqt
sabz ko zarrin batane ki ijazat marhamat karta hai aur

nachne deta hai baad-e-shokh ki maujon ke sath
jhumne deta hai suraj ki kiran ki ham-dami mein

chandni pi kar hamein ba-dast pata hai to khush hota hai waqt
phulne phalne ki tadbiren batata hai hamein

han magar anjam kar
kat lena hai hamein

hum bil-akhir us ke naghme
hum bil-akhir us ki fasl
