waqt-e-qayam dast-e-qaza ne nahin diya
vaqt-e-qayām dast-e-qazā ne nahīñ diyā
chalne lage to saath havā ne nahīñ diyā
pahle hī marhale meñ qalam ho ke rah ga.e
dast-e-hunar ko haath dikhāne nahīñ diyā
girnā to kyā burā thā magar us ko kyā kaheñ
jo gir gayā to uThne uThāne nahīñ diyā
ab un kī kaj-ravī se shikāyāt haiñ hameñ
ham ne hī un ko raah pe aane nahīñ diyā
do chaar kāreñ koThiyāñ das biis laakh bas
is se ziyāda ḳhauf-e-ḳhudā ne nahīñ diyā
maiñ sirf telephone kā ehsānmand huuñ
un kā payām bād-e-sabā ne nahīñ diyā
us yār-e-shoḳh-chashm se 'ḳhālid' kā irtibāt
ik raaz thā ki jis ko chhupāne nahīñ diyā
waqt-e-qayam dast-e-qaza ne nahin diya
chalne lage to sath hawa ne nahin diya
pahle hi marhale mein qalam ho ke rah gae
dast-e-hunar ko hath dikhane nahin diya
girna to kya bura tha magar us ko kya kahen
jo gir gaya to uThne uThane nahin diya
ab un ki kaj-rawi se shikayat hain hamein
hum ne hi un ko rah pe aane nahin diya
do chaar karen koThiyan das bis lakh bas
is se ziyaada KHauf-e-KHuda ne nahin diya
main sirf telephone ka ehsanmand hun
un ka payam baad-e-saba ne nahin diya
us yar-e-shoKH-chashm se 'KHalid' ka irtibaat
ek raaz tha ki jis ko chhupane nahin diya
