Zamana

by Arham Farid

Palat ke nahi dekhtay loug zamana kuch aur hai

Raftar buhat taez aur thakana kahin aur hai,

Rang dou mujhe, galay laga lou mujhe

Samnay aa kar, behla dou mujhe.

Samajhti nahi dunya, mere khawab kuch aur hain

Bhatak bhatak ke chalti houn, uski baat hi kuch aur hai,

Har cheez se sabak lene ka wada hai mera

Doob kar saans lene ka irada hai mera.

Zamanay ki bad salooki se ghabrana nahi hai

Sir jhuka ke waqt guzarna nahi hai,

Chalnay dou in sabko jitna bhi zor hai

Sach kahoun tou ham mein otna hi josh hai.
