Adawat ke sholon me jab jalte thay yaaron

Adawat ke sholon me jab jalte thay yaaron

Adawat ke sholon me jab jalte thay yaaron,

Khabar na thi wo bhi humpe marte thay yaron.



Abki jo tanhaai hai wo pahle na hua karti thi,

Shabe-gham chaand taare to nikalte thay yaaron.



Karte hain wo shiqayat teri kalam kyon khamosh hai

Koun batae tab lafz nahi jazbaat nikalte thay yaaron.



Jab na raha kuch dil me to kyon aas lagaate ho,

Aise bhi kuch kalaam likhe ki log marte thay yaaron.



Na rakhun shiqva kisi se na karun shiqayat magar,

Wo kyon-kar har baat me mera zikr karte thay yaaron.



Tu kyon us lamhe ko dil se lagae baitha hai “shaad”

Wo to pahle hi ise,ek haseen bhul kahte thay yaaron.
