main to jaise khada hua hun ek manzil par
aur lamhe ye waqt ke tukde

yun udte hain chaaron taraf ek titli jaise
jis ke pankh kabhi to sunahre

maddham padne lagta hai sangit ka jadu
nur ka dam ghutne lagta hai

aur lamhe ye waqt ke tukde
yun udte hain chaaron taraf ek titli jaise

jis ke pankh kabhi to sunahre
aur kabhi lagte hain siyah
