Jo tha kabhi sab kuch mera, Aaj uska zikr bhi dard deta hai, Ajeeb si baat hai mohabbat ki, Jo dil mein basa, wahi sabse door lagta hai.
Tanha raaton mein tera naam hi aata hai, Har pal tera chehra dikh jaata hai, Samjha tha tu takdeer ka hissa hai, Par tu toh bas ek imtihaan tha jo har baar rulata hai.
Tere baad koi apna nahi laga, Dil bhi kabhi poora nahi laga, Jo bharosa tha sab pe, Wahi bharosa ab toot sa gaya.
Aankhon mein aansu, dil mein toofan, Har raah lagti hai veeran, Jis se thi zindagi roshan kabhi, Aaj usi ne kar diya andhera mera jahaan.
Usne poocha “tum theek ho?”, Main muskura diya… Woh kya jaane, Har muskurahat ke peeche ek toota hua dil chhupa diya.
Na ro sakte hain, na hans paate hain, Bas dard se dosti si ho gayi hai, Jin lamhon mein kabhi tu tha mere saath, Ab woh yaadein sirf tanhaayi ho gayi hai.
Raat bhar neend nahi aati, Sapnon mein bhi teri yaadein sataati, Din chadhte hi phir wahi silsila, Dil toota hai, par duniya ko muskaan dikhani padti.
Woh tha dil ka armaan, Par chhod gaya beech raaste mein jaan, Ab zindagi se nafrat si ho gayi hai, Aur khushi lagti hai bas ek daastaan.
Khaamoshi bhi ab chillane lagi hai, Tanhaayi bhi mujhe pehchaanne lagi hai, Jin raahon pe kabhi saath chale the hum, Aaj wahi raaste mujhe rulane lagi hai.
Na koi baat poochhta hai, na haal, Lagta hai dard ka ab aadat ban gaya haal, Jo kabhi the apne dil ke kareeb, Aaj unka naam bhi lagta hai sawal.
Har pal lagta hai tu paas hai, Par dil ke kone mein bas udaas hai, Teri yaadon ka hi sahara hai ab, Tu chala gaya, par dard abhi bhi saath hai.
