Waqt ke haathon pita hoon

Waqt ke haathon pita hoon,
wajeer hoke shatranj kaa,
mohre ki chaalein chala hoon,

hai aag mujh mein dabi kahin jo
pure jagg ko roshan kar de,
naa kisi ne chingari sulgayi
chirag banke kone mein tika hoon,
Waqt ke haathon pita hoon...

dhool mujh se kisi ne jara si htaayi
chamak meri mujhe thi nazar aayi,
par naa mila koi johri jo parakh le
sheesha ho ke bazar mein bikaa hoon,
Waqt ke haathon pita hoon...

aur khaab jo meri aankhon ne dekhe the
ikk ikk sahi aankh mein utraa thaa,
par bhatakta raha raste manzil ke,
rehbaron ki kami se sabse judaa hoon,
Waqt ke haathon pita hoon...
