aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
1918 - 1970
vaa.iz ko jo dekho to ghaTā-Top añdherā
saaqī ko jo dekho to kiran phuuT rahī hai
waiz ko jo dekho to ghaTa-Top andhera
saqi ko jo dekho to kiran phuT rahi hai
aur to kuchh bhī nahīñ hazrat-e-'māchis' lekin
aap meñ aag lagāne kā kamāl achchhā hai
aur to kuchh bhi nahin hazrat-e-'machis' lekin
aap mein aag lagane ka kamal achchha hai
DhūñDiye ḳhair se jā kar koī moTī sasurāl
haath jo muft meñ aa.e to vo maal achchhā hai
DhunDiye KHair se ja kar koi moTi sasural
hath jo muft mein aae to wo mal achchha hai
jo bhī hāregā vahī gāliyāñ degā us ko
jis barahman ne kahā hai ki ye saal achchhā hai
jo bhi haarega wahi galiyan dega us ko
jis barahman ne kaha hai ki ye sal achchha hai
vo un kā zamāna thā jahāñ aql baḌī thī
ye merā zamāna hai yahāñ bhaiñs baḌī hai
wo un ka zamana tha jahan aql baDi thi
ye mera zamana hai yahan bhains baDi hai
