"Kis le'ay ab udas bethi ho"

Jab wo ik shakhs dastras mein tha

us say milna tumharay bus mein tha
us ki aankhain tumhari aankhain thin

us ki baatain tumhari baatain thin
us ka chehra tumhara chehra tha

us k dil per tumhara pehra tha

us ki her sans mein basi thin tum

us k her lafz mein khili thin tum

us k sapnoon mein bhi rachi thin tum

us ki neendoon mein jagti thin tum

wo jo kehta tha bay-qarari hai

meri sari wafa tumhari hai

sirf tum say mujhay muhabbat hai
sirf tum say meri haqiqat hai

kitni baatain mein keh naheen sakta
door tum say mein reh naheen sakta

tab tum us k her aik jumlay ko
tab tum us k her aik jazbay ko

ik hansi mein urraya karti thin

sun k tum bhool jaya kerti thin
us ki aankhoon dekhti jab wo

bay-niyazi k dard sehta tha

bhool jana tumhari a'adat thi
phir bhi kitna malol rehta tha

apni tanha'i k galay lag ker

sary aansoo wo ro gaya ik din
aik pathar say dil lagi ker k

khud bhi pathar ka ho gaya ik din

ab wo tum say tou kuchh naheen kehta
bay-nayazi k dukh naheen sehta

us ki aankhain abus ki aankhain hain

us ki baatain ab us ki baatain hain
bhool gana tumhari a'adat hai

us ki baatoon ko bhool jaoo na!!

ab wo ik shakhs dastras mein naheen
us say milna tumharay bus mein naheen

kis leay ab udas bethi ho?
