zamana jhuk gaya hota agar lahja badal lete

zamāna jhuk gayā hotā agar lahja badal lete

magar manzil nahīñ miltī agar rasta badal lete

bahut taaza havā aatī bahut se phuul khil jaate

makān-e-dil kā tum apne agar naqsha badal lete

ḳhatā tum se huī āḳhir tumhārā kyā bigaḌ jaatā

ye baazī bhī tumhārī thī agar mohara badal lete

abhī to aa.ine se hai musalsal dostī apnī

shanāsā.ī kahāñ rahtī agar chehra badal lete

mire harfoñ ke ye motī mire hāthoñ bikhar jaate

ġhubār-e-be-yaqīnī meñ agar rasta badal lete

falak ke is kināre kā vo lamha ham ko mil jaatā

milā thā ek hī lamha agar lamha badal lete

bahut be-rañg chehroñ par bahut se rang aa jaate

kisī achchhe fasāne se agar qissa badal lete

isī ḳhvāhish ke dāman meñ vahī sikke khanak uThte

sadā tabdīl kar lete agar kaasa badal lete

zamana jhuk gaya hota agar lahja badal lete

magar manzil nahin milti agar rasta badal lete

bahut taza hawa aati bahut se phul khil jate

makan-e-dil ka tum apne agar naqsha badal lete

KHata tum se hui aaKHir tumhaara kya bigaD jata

ye bazi bhi tumhaari thi agar mohara badal lete

abhi to aaine se hai musalsal dosti apni

shanasai kahan rahti agar chehra badal lete

mere harfon ke ye moti mere hathon bikhar jate

ghubar-e-be-yaqini mein agar rasta badal lete

falak ke is kinare ka wo lamha hum ko mil jata

mila tha ek hi lamha agar lamha badal lete

bahut be-rang chehron par bahut se rang aa jate

kisi achchhe fasane se agar qissa badal lete

isi KHwahish ke daman mein wahi sikke khanak uThte

sada tabdil kar lete agar kasa badal lete
