Waqt hai jo bah`te paani
Kee tar`ah, bah`ta hai’
Mu`sal`sal chal`ta hai, guzar`ta hai;
Har shaam, har subah,
Har pal, har lamha jo hai,
Thaa mei badal jaata hai;
Laakh koshish kare koyi
Bandhe nahi band`ta, yeh
Tukad`un mein but jaata hai;
Mai`ne bhi kayi baar
donoun haath`oun se
Samat`ne kee koshish mein
Fisal`te dekhaa hai,
Boond - boond paani
Ungli`youn ke
beech`oun-beech
Aur
phir khaali haath;
Par kayi baar zindagi ne di`ye hain
Kuch lamhe jo bah`te waqt se
Churaa`ye hain mei`ne, jiye hain;
Jo aankhon se utaa`re hain
Dil se sanvaa`re hain, aur
Rouh mein basa`yein hain;
Aaj bhi kayi baar
Mein unhein jeeti huun`
Phir se khil utha`ti huun`…..
