chehre jitne rup badalta rahta hai


chehre jitne ruup badaltā rahtā hai
ā.īne meñ naqs nikaltā rahtā hai

zehn pe baḌhtā jaatā hai sadiyoñ kā dabāv
lamha kaise karb meñ Dhaltā rahtā hai

dil hī nahīñ raushan to din kyā niklegā
sūraj to tārīḳh badaltā rahtā hai

yādoñ tanhā.ī se bāteñ kartī haiñ
sannāTā āvāz badaltā rahtā hai

ik lamhe kī haqīqat tak jaane ke liye
ḳhvāb ka.ī sadiyoñ tak chaltā rahtā hai

chehre jitne rup badalta rahta hai
aaine mein naqs nikalta rahta hai

zehn pe baDhta jata hai sadiyon ka dabaw
lamha kaise karb mein Dhalta rahta hai

dil hi nahin raushan to din kya niklega
suraj to tariKH badalta rahta hai

yaadon tanhai se baaten karti hain
sannaTa aawaz badalta rahta hai

ek lamhe ki haqiqat tak jaane ke liye
KHwab kai sadiyon tak chalta rahta hai
