aap ke bad har ghadee ham ne
aap ke saath hee guzaaree hai
aaina dekh kar tasallee huee
ham ko is ghar mein jaanata hai koee
shaam se aankh mein namee see hai
aaj phir aap kee kamee see hai
kabhee to chaunk ke dekhe koee hamaaree taraf
kisee kee aankh mein ham ko bhee intizaar dikhe
zindagee yoon huee basar tanha
qaafila saath aur safar tanha
vaqt rahata nahin kaheen tik kar
aadat is kee bhee aadamee see hai
aadatan tum ne kar die vaade
aadatan ham ne etibaar kiya
jis kee aankhon mein katee theen sadiyaan
us ne sadiyon kee judaee dee hai
kitanee lambee khaamoshee se guzara hoon
un se kitana kuchh kahane kee koshish kee
koee khaamosh zakhm lagatee hai
zindagee ek nazm lagatee hai
