waqt-e-safar jo sath chale the

vaqt-e-safar jo saath chale the

lagtā thā vo log bhale the

kāñToñ kī tāsīr liye kyuuñ

phūloñ jaise log mile the

auroñ ke ghar raushan karne

saarī saarī raat jale the

pyaas bujhānā khel nahīñ thā

yuuñ to dariyā paañv tale the

shaam huī to sūraj soche

saarā din be-kār jale the

waqt-e-safar jo sath chale the

lagta tha wo log bhale the

kanTon ki tasir liye kyun

phulon jaise log mile the

auron ke ghar raushan karne

sari sari raat jale the

pyas bujhana khel nahin tha

yun to dariya panw tale the

sham hui to suraj soche

sara din be-kar jale the
