Sookhi Hai Nadi, Bheege Hain Kinare;
Hum Toh Zinda Hain Teri Yaadon Ke Sahare!
Chup Hain Woh Kis Wajah Se Humein Maloom Nahi Magar;
Dil Doob Saa Jaata Hai Jab Woh Yaad Nahi Karte!
Chaman Ke Baharon Mein Tha Aashiyana,
Na Jane Kahan Kho Geya Woh Zamaana,
Tumhein Bhulane Ki Main Koshish Toh Karunga,
Dua Karo Ki Tum Kabhi Mujhe Yaad Na Aana!
Itne Waqt Baad Mile Ho Kin Socho Mein Ghum Ho;
Din Ke Ujaale Ne Mujh Se Pucha Har Waqt Kiski Yaad Mein Khoye Ho!
Aksar Hum Apni Raat Yun Barbaad Karte Hain,
Baith Ke Kisi Kone Mein Unko Yaad Karte Hain;
Unke Vapis Aane Ki Ummeed Toh Chhod Di Kab Ki,
Phir Bhi Na Jane Kyon Hum Apna Waqt Barbaad Karte Hain!
Jinki Yaad Hai Dil Mein Nishaani Ki Tarah,
Woh Toh Bhool Gaye Humein Kahaani Ki Tarah!
Chup Hain Woh Kis Wajah Se Humein Maloom Nahi Magar,
Dil Doob Sa Jaata Hai Jab Woh Yaad Nahi Karte!
Yeh Zabt Chhoot Geya Toh Tumhari Yaad Aayi;
Main Thak Ke Toot Gaya Toh Tumhari Yaad Aayi;
Tumhare Baad Na Tha Koi Mera Dil Ke Siwa;
Yeh Dil Bhi Rooth Geya Toh Tumhari Yaad Aayi!
Kuch Khatakta Toh Hai Pehlu Mein Mire Reh-Reh Kar;
Ab Khuda Jaane Tiri Yaad Hai Ya Dil Mera!
Kuchh Kar Ab Mera Bhi Ilaaz Aye Hakeem-e-Mohabbat;
Har Raat Woh Yaad Aata Hai Aur Mujhse Soya Nahi Jaata!
