Ab Bhi Chale Aate Hain Khayalon Mein Woh,
Roz Lagti Hai Haziri Us Gair Hazir Ki!
Khatam Ho Gayi Kahani Bas Kuch Alfaaz Baaki Hain,
Ek Adhure Ishq Kee Ek Muqqamal Si Yaad Baaki Hai!
Bas Jeene Hi To Nahi Degi,
Aur Kya Kar Lengi Yaadein Teri!
Kaash Tu Bhi Ban Jaye Teri Yaadon Kee Tarah;
Na Waqt Dekhe Na Bahana, Bas Chali Aaye!
Saari Khidkiyan Darwaze Band Kar Leta Hun,
Phir Bhi Na Jane Kahan Se Aa Jati Hain Tumhari Yaadein!
Kuch Beete Hue Lamho Se Mulakat Hui,
Kuch Toote Hue Sapno Se Baat Hui,
Yaad Jo Karne Baithe Un Tamam Yaadon Ko,
To Aapki Hi Yaadon Se Shuruat Hui!
Yaad Hai Ab Tak Tujhse Bichadne Kee Wo Andheri Shaam Mujhe;
Tu Khamosh Khada Tha Lekin Baatein Karta Tha Kajal!
Tumhari Khushbu Se Mehakti Hai Wo Ghazlein Bhi,
Jin Mein Likhti Hun Main 'Ki Tumhein Bhul Gayi Hun'!
Mat Pucho Ki Main Alfaz Kahan Se Lata Hun;
Ye Uski Yaadon Ka Khazana Hai bas Lutaye Ja Raha Hun!
Tanhai Mere Dil Mein Samati Chali Gayi;
Kismat Bhi Apna Khel Dikhati Chali Gayi;
Mehkti Fiza Kee Khushbu Mein Jo Dekha Pyaar Ko;
Bas Yaad Unki Aayi Aur Rulati Chali Gayi!
