Has Rahe Hai Sabhi Dekhakar Ye Manjar,
Labo Pe Mere Muskan Na Rahi.
Khushnuma Hai Mahol Charo Or Mere,
Mahol Me Par Ab Wo Khushi Na Rahi.
Dhadkta To Hai Dil,”Na Jane Kyu?”
Par Dhadkano Me Ab Wo’dhadkan’ Na Rahi.
Khawab To Aaj Bhi Pahle Ki Tarah Hi Aate Hai,
Unme Bhi Ab Koi Tasweer Na Rahi.
Wahi Purana Chand Aaj Bhi Dekha Maine,
Par Usme Me Bhi Wo Kashish Na Rahi.
Uske Saath Gujre Lamho Ki Kasam,
‘Usko’ Bhool Jau Itni Himmat Na Rahi.
Chand Bhi Wahi Hai, Suraj Bhi Wahi Hai,
Roshni Me Hi Itni Rounak Na Rahi.
Ab Kya Kahu? Kya Sunau Tumhe?
Labjo Me Bhi To Takat Na Rahi.
Khamoshi Ko Sunana Sikh Le Zankar,
Payal Ki Bhi To, Ab Aawaj Na Rahi
