Aye Zindagi Kaash Tu Hi Rooth Jaati Mujhse;
Ye Roothe Hue Log Mujhse Manaye Nahi Jaate!
Tumhein Jab Kabhi Mile Fursatein Mere Dil Se Bojh Utaar Do;
Main Bahut Dino Se Udaas Hun, Mujhe Koi Shaam Udhaar do!
Aaj Jarurat Hai Jiski Woh Paas Nahi Hai;
Ab Unke Dil Mein Wo Ehsaas Nahi Hai;
Tadapte Hai Do Pal Baat Karne Ko;
Shayad Ab Waqt Hamare Liye Unke Pass Nahi Hai!
Judaa Ho Kar Bhi Jee Rahe Hain Muddat Se;
Kabhi Dono Hi Kehte The Yun Ho Nahi Sakta!
Ab Kaun Se Mausam Se Koi Aas Lagaye;
Barsaat Mein Bhi Yaad Na Jab Un Ko Hum Aaye!
Log Lete Hain Yun Hi Shamma Aur Parwane Ka Naam;
Kuch Nahi Hai Is Jahan Mein Ghum Ke Afsane Ka Naam!
Teri Dastak Ke Muntazir Muddat Se;
Deemak, Darwaazey, Tanhai Aur Main!
Awaaz Mein Thehrao Tha, Ankhon Mein Nami Si Thi;
Aur Keh Raha Tha Maine Sab Kuch Bhulaa Diyaa!
Tumhare Baad Na Takmeel Ho Saki Apni;
Tumhare Baad Adhoore Tamam Khawab Lage!
Translation
Takmeel = Completion
Is Khayaal Se Hi Har Shaam Jald Neend Aayi;
Mujh Se Bichrre Hue Log Sheher-e-Khawab Mein Hain!
