ishāre muddatoñ se kar rahā hai
abhī tak saaf kahte Dar rahā hai

bachānā chāhtā hai vo sabhī ko
bahut marne kī koshish kar rahā hai

samundar tak rasā.ī ke liye vo
zamāne bhar kā paanī bhar rahā hai

kahīñ kuchh hai purāne ḳhvāb jaisā
mirī āñkhoñ se zālim Dar rahā hai

zamāne bhar ko hai ummīd usī se
vo nā-ummīd aisā kar rahā hai

ishaare muddaton se kar raha hai
abhi tak saf kahte Dar raha hai

bachana chahta hai wo sabhi ko
bahut marne ki koshish kar raha hai

samundar tak rasai ke liye wo
zamane bhar ka pani bhar raha hai

kahin kuchh hai purane KHwab jaisa
meri aankhon se zalim Dar raha hai

zamane bhar ko hai ummid usi se
wo na-ummid aisa kar raha hai
