waqt ne hum ko kis raste par la dala hai
donon

ek an-chahi ham-rahi ki suli le kar
bojhal bojhal panw dharte jaen chalte jaen

tu bhi aakhir insan hai
tere pas bhi armanon ka resham hoga

kabhi kabhi to tu bhi dard ki sui le kar
koi lamha kadhti hogi

chalte chalte kabhi kabhi koi bhiga pul
gae dinon ke bahr mein tujh ko jal-thal karna hoga

mere pas bhi khwabon ki
kuchh dhajjiyan baqi hain

main bhi akasr chalte chalte kho jata hun
in dhajjiyon ko jodta rahta hun

khud ko in mein dhundhta rahta hun
kabhi kabhi bistar mein lete

main ne apne aur tere mabain
aise aise la-mutanahi dariya hael dekhe hain

jin par kisi bhi rishte ka koi pul nahin banne pata
ek aisi majbur si hamdardi ki dori mein

hum donon bandhe hue hain
jis mein hum ne samjhauton ki

kitni ganthen dal rakhi hain
waqt ka jabr bhi kaisa hai

tujh ko tu nahin rahne deta
mujh ko main nahin hone deta

jismon ki yakjai kahin karta hai
ruhen aur kahin chhod aata hai
