Har kadam par dagmagaate hai hum,
Aksar patthar se thokar khaate hai hum,
Sambhalte hai, girte hai,
Fir sambhalkar muskuraate hai hum,

Kitna bhi sitam ho, hausla bas buland rehta hai,
Kuch aisi khwaaish mein saara yeh josh-e-junoon rehta hai,

Jab waqt ke tevar badlenge tab sab kuch badal jayega,
Magar guroor hai itna, khuddar kuch aise hai,
Waqt ko bhi be-waqt bulaate nahi hai hum.
