zamana kitna badal gaya hai
maqam rishton ka mit raha hai
kahin mohabbat ka ruup dhare
kahin sulagte ye nafraton se
kahin pe ankhon men ret ban kar
chubhan ki surat rula rahe hain
kahin ye barqi payam ban kar
hazar milon pe chhai duuri ke badalon ko hata rahe hain
dilon ki dhadkan badha rahe hain
rivayaton ko badal rahe hain
vafa ke dhage jafa se har dam ulajh rahe hain
udaas lamhe khushi-o-hairat ki saari ghadiyan
dilon se bahar nikal ke divar ka navishta
mohabbat azali aziim rishta
jo lakhon pardon men jagmagata tha
ab status pe ishtiha ki khabar ki surat badal raha hai
koi bhi jazba koi bhi rishta
na mustaqil hai na mo’atabar hai
palak jhapakne men badle manzar
ki jaise koi jahan-zadi taalluq apna badal rahi ho
nai koi chaal chal rahi ho
junun ki agli jo manzilen hain
vahan pe tasviren avezan hain
dabi dabi muskurahaten hain
ghuti ghuti sansanahaten hain
junun ehsas aur mohabbat
vaqar apna mita rahi hain
bata rahi hain
zamana kitna badal gaya hai
