Ab kis se kahen aur kaun sune jo haal tumhare baad hua iss dil ki jheel si aankhon mein ek khwaab bahut barbaad hua

Ab kis se kahen aur kaun sune jo haal tumhare baad hua

iss dil ki jheel si aankhon mein ek khwaab bahut barbaad hua

Ye hijr-hawa bhi dushman hai iss naam ke saare rangon ki

woh naam jo mere honthon par khushboo ki tarah aabaad hua

Uss shehar mein kitne chehre the kuchh yaad nahin sab bhool gaye

ek shakhs kitaabon jaisa tha woh shakhs zubaani yaad hua

Woh apne gaaon ki galiyaan thi dil jin mein naachta gaata tha

ab iss se farq nahin padta nashaad hua ya shaad hua

Benaam sataaish rehti thi in gehri saanwali aankhon mein

aisa toh kabhi socha bhi na tha dil ab jitna bedaad hua
