Zamana Ab Ye Kaisa Aa Raha Hai

zamana ab ye kaisa aa raha hai

ki har badmast sambhla ja raha hai

jalati hai ḳhirad sham.on pe sham.en

andhera hai ki baḌhta ja raha hai

dua.en kar rahe hain ahl-e-sahil

safina hai ki Duuba ja raha hai

magar baḌhti nahin hai baat aage

zamana hai ki guzra ja raha hai

bhara tha rang jis ḳhake men barson

vo ḳhaka yak ba yak dhundla raha hai

mohabbat aap hi manzil hai apni

na jaane husn kyuun itra raha hai

main ḳhud tasvir banta ja raha huun

tasavvur men mire kaun aa raha hai

kisi se phir mohabbat ho rahi hai

mujhe phir pyaar dil par aa raha hai

nigah-e-ishq ki vus.at na puchho

jahan-e-husn simTa ja raha hai

juda us ko na samjho karvan se

‘imam’ ik bankpan se aa raha hai
