masih-e-waqt tum batao kya hua
zaban pe ye kasila-pan kahan se aa gaya

zara si der ke liye palak jhapak gai
to rakh kis tarah jhadi

suna hai dur des se
kuchh aise wirus hamare sahilon pe aa gae

jin ke tab-kar-e-sahar ke liye
amrit aur zahr ek hain

ab kisi ke darmiyan koi rabta nahin
kisi dawa ka dard se koi wasta nahin

hum hawa ki mauj mauj se
dard khinchte hain chhodte hain sans ki tarah

lahu ki ek ek bund zakhm ban gai
ragon mein jaise bad-duaen tairti hain

phans ki tarah
masih-e-waqt tum batao kya hua

dew ilm ke charagh ka
kyun bhala biphar gaya

dhuan dhuan bikhar gaya
suno ki chikhta hai kaam kaam

koi kaam
jao sahilon ki samt ho sake to rok lo

is nae azab ko
nakhuda ki aakhiri shikast tak

samundaron ki ret chhante raho
