Lamhon ney khata ki thi

Years back when the current prime minister presented his budget signalling a change in India's economic policy and move towards free market he had used a urdu couplet to highlight the mistakes of the past:
कुछ ऐसे भी मन्जार है , तारिक की नजर मैं
लम्हों ने खता की थी, सदियों ने सजा पाई है
As the 540 odd highly capable members of the lower house decide on the fate of Manmohan Singh government are we standing at a similar epoch?
