"Samne se jab guzra woh aj
Ek nazar dekh ke
dil mein aya phirse koi tufaan
Taze ho gaye zakhm sare
jo lagbhag bhar gaye the
Aftaab ke har ek didaar ke saath
makhmali kaanton mein lipte woh din
hum bhul gaye the
Do pal ke liye tham gya waqt jaise
Yaadon ki baraat daur gayi samne se
Lekin ab samajh chuke hai ki
Is safar mein ruk jana bewakoofi hai
Isliye khudko samet ke
hum bhi apne raaste chal diye
