Ai waqt zara tham ja

ek KHwab ki aahaT se yun gunj uThin galiyan
ambar pe khile tare baghon mein hansen kaliyan

sagar ki KHamoshi mein ek mauj ne karwaT li
aur chand jhuka us par

phir baam hue raushan
khiDki ke kiwaDon par saya sa koi larza

aur tez hui dhaDkan
phir TuT gai chuDi, ujaDne lage manzar

ek dast-e-hinai ki dastak se khula dil mein
ek rang ka darwaza

KHushbu si ajab mahki
koyal ki tarah koi be-nam tamanna si

phir dur kahin chahki
phir dil ki surahi mein ek phul khila taza

jugnu bhi chale aae sun sham ka aawaza
aur bhanwre hanse mil kar

har ek sitare ki aankhon mein ishaare hain
us shaKHs ke aane ke

ai waqt zara tham ja
aasar ye sare hain us shaKHs ke aane ke
