Aaj Tanhai Ne Aagosh Mein Liya Hai Mujhe,
Meri Be-Baak Muskurahat Bhi Mujhe Bacha Na Saki!
Khamoshiyon Ka Shor Kured Raha Tha Dil Ke Zakhmo Ko,
Maut Ki Hasrat Bhi Mujhe Dard Se Bacha Na Saki!
Unke Laut Aane Ki Umeed To Kabki Dafan Ho Chuki,
Kisi Aur Ki Chahat Bhi Mujhe Bacha Na Saki!
Roye The Zar-Zar Andheron Mein Ab Talak Ki,
Meri Aankhen Bhi Roshniyo Ko Mera Gam Bata Na Saki!
Mera Marna Ek Udhar Hai Meri Zindagi Pe Yaaron,
Meri Tishnagi Bhi Yeh Ehsaan Chuka Na Saki!
Khwaishon Ka Samandar Daba Hai Dil Mein,
Kahin Ruswaiyan Bhi Isme Toofan Na La Saki!
Mohabbat Ek Pal Mein Hai Itni Kar Lee Humne,
Sadiyan Bhi Iski Yaadon Ko Mita Na Saki!
