Kya Mangu Khuda Se Tumhe Pane Ke Baad,
Kiska Karun Intezaar Tere Ane Ke Baad,
Kyon Dosti Mai Jaan Luta Dete Hain Log,
Mujhe Malum Hua Tumhe Dost Banane Ke Baad.
kyun uski yaad dil ko iss qadar sataane lagi,
kyun koi akaash mein tim-timaate taaron ki lau bhi ab jalne lagi,
bandh ho chali hai ab aankhe meri lab bhi ab see chuke hai,
kyun kayamat se pehle kayamat ab aane lagi..
unhi ko dhoond rahi hai nigha- e -shouk meri,
jo ban ke ajnabi mehfil mein aaye baithe hai
nighaein neeche kiye sir jhukaye baithe hai,
yehi tou hai jo mera dil churaye baithe hai,
jo raaj chhup nahi sakta churaye baithe hai,
bade hasin tassavvur mein kho gayi hoon main,
ki jaise woh mere pehlu mein aaye baithe hai..
JO CHUP-CHAAP KISI SE PYAAR KARTE HAIN,
WO BHALA KAB MUHABBAT KA IZHAAR KARTE HAIN,
APNI ZUBAAN SE TO KUCHH KEH NAHI PATE,
PAR AKSAR UNKE LIYE FARIYAAD KARTE HAIN.
