vaqt-e-safar jo saath chale the
lagtā thā vo log bhale the

kāñToñ kī tāsīr liye kyuuñ
phūloñ jaise log mile the

auroñ ke ghar raushan karne
saarī saarī raat jale the

pyaas bujhānā khel nahīñ thā
yuuñ to dariyā paañv tale the

shaam huī to sūraj soche
saarā din be-kār jale the

waqt-e-safar jo sath chale the
lagta tha wo log bhale the

kanTon ki tasir liye kyun
phulon jaise log mile the

auron ke ghar raushan karne
sari sari raat jale the

pyas bujhana khel nahin tha
yun to dariya panw tale the

sham hui to suraj soche
sara din be-kar jale the
