"Mohabbat aur waqt dono ek jaise hain—jab tak paas hote hain, unki asli keemat samajh nahi aati.
Mohabbat ki aadat lag jaaye toh tanhaayi zehar lagti hai,
Aur waqt haath se nikal jaaye toh sirf afsos rehta hai.
Jo in dono ko samajh le, woh zindagi ka asli sultan hota ha!"
"Mohabbat aur waqt, dono ki fitrat ajeeb hai...
Ek bepanah dekar bhi beparwah dikhata hai,
Toh doosra be-awaaz nikal kar bas yaadon ka bojh chhod jata hai.
Mohabbat ki aadat ho jaaye toh tanhaayi bemaani lagti hai,
Aur waqt ki be-qadri ho jaaye toh zindagi ek be-rang dastaan ban jaati hai.
Samajhne wale ke liye, mohabbat ibadat hai aur waqt ek nayi ibadat ka imkaan,
Magar jo na samjhe, unke liye sirf afsos aur intezaar ka naam hai zindag!..."
