Waqt

Hath khulne se pehle
waqt beh jata hai!

zindagi sirf
jeene ka naam reh jata hai!

khwabon ki duniya ka khwab
aakhir, ek khwab hi reh jata hai!

haqeeqat ki hai sachai kya
insan samjh ke bhi nasamjh hi reh jata hai!

kismat hai pathar ki lakeer
phir bhi hatheli me kuch dhundta reh jata hai!


jhooti umeedon ki neev per
bevaja hi dil dhadkta reh jata hai!

zindagi sirf
zinda rehne ka naam reh jata hai, jab
hath khulne se pehle
waqt raet sa beh jata hai!
