waqt itni jaldi beet jata hai
pal main hasta pal main rulata hai
beet jatein hain saal dekhte dekhte
par aakhir main yeh ek muskaan de jate hai
yaad reh jaatein hain to doston ki shararaten
klass main betaaye woh sote hue din
abbas ki chai aur nescafe ki coffee ke sang
ya fir dlp ki maggi aur aloo ke paranthe
sabhke saath jo mehfil jamti thi
dil ki baathein dil se hoke hi rehti thi
kaise bhool jaaye amfi ki woh raatein
j ki chhat aur e ki sediyan
shayad hi yeh sama kabhi laut ke aayega
jate jaate yeh sabhko ek baar zaroor rulayega
saalon baad yeh samma jabh yaad aayega
fir bhi yeh chehre pe ek muskaan de jayega
