ek sail-e-be-panah ki surat rawan hai waqt
ik sail-e-be-panāh kī sūrat ravāñ hai vaqt
tinke samajh rahe haiñ ki vahm-o-gumāñ hai vaqt
parkho to jaise teġh-e-do-dam hai khiñchī huī
Taalo to ek uḌtā huā sā dhuāñ hai vaqt
jo dil hadaf huā ho vo shāyad batā sake
nāvak bhī aap aap hī chaḌhtī kamāñ hai vaqt
ham us ke saath haiñ ki vo hai apne saath saath
kis ko ḳhabar ki ham haiñ ravāñ yā ravāñ hai vaqt
tārīḳh kyā hai vaqt ke qadmoñ kī gard hai
qaumoñ ke auj-o-past kī ik dāstāñ hai vaqt
agle suḳhan-varoñ ne jise āsmāñ kahā
sach pūchhiye to aaj vahī āsmāñ hai vaqt
hamdam nahīñ rafīq nahīñ ham-navā nahīñ
lekin hamārā sab se baḌā rāzdāñ hai vaqt
kal kā.enāt apne jilau meñ liye hue
'jāved' hast-o-būd kā ik kārvāñ hai vaqt
ek sail-e-be-panah ki surat rawan hai waqt
tinke samajh rahe hain ki wahm-o-guman hai waqt
parkho to jaise tegh-e-do-dam hai khinchi hui
Talo to ek uDta hua sa dhuan hai waqt
jo dil hadaf hua ho wo shayad bata sake
nawak bhi aap aap hi chaDhti kaman hai waqt
hum us ke sath hain ki wo hai apne sath sath
kis ko KHabar ki hum hain rawan ya rawan hai waqt
tariKH kya hai waqt ke qadmon ki gard hai
qaumon ke auj-o-past ki ek dastan hai waqt
agle suKHan-waron ne jise aasman kaha
sach puchhiye to aaj wahi aasman hai waqt
hamdam nahin rafiq nahin ham-nawa nahin
lekin hamara sab se baDa raazdan hai waqt
kal kaenat apne jilau mein liye hue
'jawed' hast-o-bud ka ek karwan hai waqt
