kaise maanuu.N ki zamaane kii Khabar rakhatii hai


kaise maanuu.N ki zamaane kii Khabar rakhatii hai
gardish-e-vaqt to sirf apanii Khabar rakhatii hai

merii pairo.n kii thakan tum ruuTh na jaanaa mujh ko
ek tuu hii to meraa raaz-e-safar rakhatii hai

dostii terii daraKhto.n me.n havaaye.n bhii nahii.n
dushmanii apane daraKhto.n me.n samar rakhatii hai

[daraKht = tree; samar = fruit]
