Waqt

Waqt na tha-h-ra tha, waqt na tha-h-rega,
Jiwan ki is daud me, na jane kisi kya hasil hoga.

Hum sab badh to rahe hain apne-apne lakshya ki aor,
Par kise pata hai kahan hai antim chor,
har ghadi hum apne liye karte hai socha,
Nirasha ke palon me har kisi ne hai apne ashruon ko pocha,
Fir kyoun tha-h-rate hain hum dusron ko doshi,
Jab apne acche waqt ki izzat humi ne hai luti.

Chan taron ki taarif sabhi kiya karte hain,
Par ye chand aur taren hai, Inka gyan pata na hume kaun dete hain,
Par jis kisi ne bhi hume ye chand-tare dikhayen hain,
Usne apni is khoj me awashya lakhon warsh bitayen hai,
Agar na ki hoti un logon ne waqt ki izzat,
To hume kahan pata tha ki chand-taron ko sawarti hai kudrat,
Warna hum to uun hi chand-taron ki taraf dekha karte,
Sath hi apna kimti waqt jaya karte.

Waqt ko simtakar hume uske sath chalna hoga,
Kathinayian chahe ho apaar hame kadam badhate rahna hoga,
Kyounki badhte kadmon se hi tay hoti hai duriyan,
Waqt gujarne ke baad hoti hai sabki apni-apni majburiyaan.
