EK NAZM: WAQT

WAQT:

Sach hai

Waqt ek khanzar ki tarah

 Hamen zakhm deta

Aur aksar in zakhmo ko kured kar  

Hara bhi karta hai

Waqt ke tez jhonke

Bujha dete hain  khwabon ke chirag

Waqt ki chingari, kai baar

Nanhe armon ko khak kar deti hai

Bah jaten waqt ki lahron mein

Ummeed ke chhote chhote jazire

Ye waqt rahzan bhi hai

Loot leta hai hamare armano ke karvan ko

Waqt sitamgar hai, Sitam karta hai

Ye dil ke tootne ka nahin gham karta hai

Lekin…

 Yehi waqt marham banker

Waqt bewaqt

Kai purane zakhmo ko bhara karta hai

Waqt ki dhoop mein

Na jane Kitni ashq alooda yadein sookh jati hain

Waqt ki thandi boondon se

Na jane kitne sulagte huye

chak jigar ko chain aur araam milta hai

Isi waqt ki beparwah tapish se

Bahut se munzamid dard pighal bhi jate hain

Goya ki

Waqt kuchh bhi ho sakta hai

Waqt kahin bhi ho sakta hai 

Waqt kabhi ho sakta hai

Par waqt be-waqt nahin hota

Kabhi suna hai tumne Sham ko subah hote huye

Kabhi dekha hai tumne Do baje char bajte huye
