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!
Har Mulaqat Par Waqt Ka Takaza Hua,
Har Yaad Par Dil Ka Dard Taaza Hua;
Suni Thi Sirf Logon Se Judaai Ki Baatein,
Khud Par Beeti To Haqeeqat Ka Andaza Hua!
Dil Se Aapka Khayal Jata Nahi;
Aapke Siva Koi Yaad Aata Nahi;
Jee Chahta Hai Ke Aapko Roz Dekhun Par;
Woh Waqt Kabhi Aata Nahi!
Mulaqat Bhi Kabhi Aansu De Jati Hai;
Nazrein Bhi Kabhi Dhokha De Jati Hain;
Guzre Hue Lamhon Ko Yaad Karke Dekhiye;
Tanhai Bhi Kabhi Kabhi Sukoon De Jati Hai!
Khul Jata Hai Teri Yaadon Ka Bazaar Subah-Subah;
Aur Isi Raunak Mein Mera Din Guzar Jata Hai!
Aaj Ki Raat Bhi Mumkin Hai Na So Sakun;
Yaad Phir Aayi Hai Neendoon Ko Udaane Wali!
