waqt rootha raha bachche ki tarah raah mein koi khilona na m

kuch tabiyat hi mili thi aisi, chain se jeene ki soorat na hui
jisko chaaha use apnaa na sake,jo milaa us se muhabbat na hui

jis se ab tak mile dil hi se mile, dil jo badlaa to fasaanaa badlaa
rasm-e-duniya ko nibhaane ke liye humse rishton ki tizaarat na hui

door se tha wo kayi chehron mein, paas se koi bhi waisa na laga
bewafai bhi usi ka tha chalan, fir kisi se bhi shikaayat na hui

waqt rootha raha bachche ki tarah raah mein koi khilona na mila
dosti bhi to nibhaayi na gayi dushmani mein bhi adaavat na hui
