Woh raat bhi aati hai jab har yaad dard deti hai,
Khamoshi bhi aaj mujhse kuch zyada hi roothi hai.

Teri yaadon ka bojh seena dabaa deta hai,
Har sahi mulaqat bhi mujhko tanha kar jaati hai.

Aankhon mein aansu chhupaa leta hoon main,
Log kehte hain khushi hai par dil rota rehta hai.

Uski baton mein ab woh baat nahi rahi,
Jaise khushbu bina phool ke reh jaati hai.

Meri fikr ko tune nazarandaz kar diya,
Maine apni muskurahat bhi tujhe qarz de di.

Dard ka saaya itna gehra hai aaj,
Har khushi mujhse door bhaagti nazar aati hai.

Tere jaane ke baad bhi tera intezar hai,
Woh raah jahan tu guzri, ab bhi bekhabar hai.

Raaton mein teri ek kami mehsoos hoti hai,
Subah aate hi ye khamoshi aur gehri ho jaati hai.

Khud se poocha to jawab mila hi nahi,
Har khushi ka maksad aaj gum ho gaya hai.

Tujhse juda hokar bhi tera hi khayal aata hai,
Dard ka silsila ab mere saath hi chalta hai.

Waqt ki diwaar pe humari yaadein likhi hain,
Har lafz aaj bhi mere dil ko chakad deta hai.

Aansu chhupane ki aadat ho gayi mujhe,
Muskurahat chura ke sabko dikhata hoon main.

Teri bewafai ka dard ab aadat si ban gaya,
Har nayi subah mujhse ek kahani chura leti hai.

Dil ke kone mein koi khamosh sa zakhm hai,
Har khushi ka raasta ab wahin se guzarta hai.

Tujhse milne ki tamanna ab tarasti reh gayi,
Har mulaqat ke baad sirf khaali si zindagi bachti hai.

Woh muskurahat jo tujhe dekh kar aati thi,
Aaj woh bhi bas khayalon mein dabhi rehti hai.

Raaston pe tere kadam dhundhta hoon main,
Lekin tera chehra hawaon se puchte hi nahi.

Tere bin zindagi ek kitaab adhoori si hai,
Har panne pe tera zikr par saahil gum ho gaya.

Dard kuch is tarah mere dil mein basa hai,
Har hansne ki wajah ab sirf yaadon mein hai.

Tere wadae ab sirf hawaon mein bikhre hain,
Maine har umeed apne haathon se tod di.

Teri dhadkan ab kahin door chal gayi hai,
Meri saansen ab bhi tumhe pukarte rehti hain.

Woh pal jo tere saath beetey the yaad aate hain,
Ab har pal mein sirf khamoshi ka raaj hai.

Dil todne wale kam nahi hote is duniya mein,
Magar tera dard sabse alag aur gehra tha.

Teri tasveer ko dekh kar muskurata hoon main,
Par dil ke aage aansu chupaa leta hoon main.

Woh yakeen jo kabhi tha, ab dhundla sa ho gaya,
Teri judai ne sab kuch bekaar kar diya.

Raat ki tanhai mein tera naam pukarta hoon,
Dil se nikalti awaaz ko hawa le jaati hai.

Teri chahat ne mujhko itna chodh diya,
Ke khud ko bhi pehchaan na paaya main aaj.

Har dard ko main ek dastaan bana leta hoon,
Teri kami us dastaan ki sabse kharab lakeer hai.

Teri yaadon mein jeena mujhe ab bhi aata hai,
Bas khushi ka raasta kahin kho sa gaya hai.

Har rishte ki misaal dene wala tha tu,
Ab teri yaad bhi kisi se bayan nahi hoti.

Tere jaane ke baad bhi teri baatein sataati hain,
Har khushi ko chhupakar dard hi reh jaata hai.

Udasi ki lehron mein dooba rehta hoon main,
Tere khayalon mein phans kar waqt nikal jaata hai.

Teri bewajah doori ne rulaya mujhe,
Ke khud se shayad main anjaan sa reh gaya hoon.

Dil se nikle alfaaz ab hawaon mein gum ho gaye,
Har shayari mein tera naam bas ek dard ban gaya.

Teri yaad ka dard har raat naya sa lagta hai,
Jaise dil pe koi nayi lakeer chal gayi ho.

Har khushi ke peechhe chhupa ek aansu mera saaya hai,
Jo kabhi khatam hi nahi hota mere darmiyan.

Tere naam se ab meri har shuruaat dard se hoti hai,
Par main phir bhi tera hi intezar karta hoon.

Woh mulaqat jo chhuti kabhi laut ke nahi aayi,
Bas yaadon ke tukde dil mein chipak gaye hain.

Teri baton ka zeher ab har soch mein ghul jata hai,
Har subah mere liye pehle se zyada andheri ho gayi.

Usne kaha “chalo alvida”, magar dil na maana,
Aaj bhi har ghadi teri kami se meri rooh roya karti hai.

Tere bina jeena kisi kitab ke page bina hai,
Sab kahaniyan adhuri, sab khushiyan bhula si lagti hain.

Har dard ko main apne frank se sajaata hoon,
Taaki duniya ko lage main theek hoon bas.

Teri yaad jab bhi aati hai, dhadkan tezz ho jaati hai,
Par us dard ke saath koi raah nazar nahi aati.

Woh subah jo tere saath guzri thi ab khwab si lagti hai,
Har khwab meri neendon ko chheen leta hai.

Teri hansi ab kisi aur ke saath khil gayi hai,
Mere chehre se wo hansi chheen ke le gayi hai.

Teri yaadon ne mere dil ko aag laga di,
Har cheekh sirf teri kami ka aawaz ban gayi.

Woh wada jise tune toda, mera bharosa tha,
Ab zindagi ke raaste mujhse naraz rehte hain.

Khud se hi door ho gaya hoon main in raahon mein,
Tere bin toh mera ghar bhi sangeen sa lagta hai.

Har nazar mein tera chehra chhupa rehta hai,
Par tera haath mujhe kabhi thaam na saka.

Meri tanhai mein teri awaaz goonjti rahti hai,
Jaise koi geet jo kabhi mukammal na hua ho.

Tere jaane ka gham dil ke andar gehra hai,
Har khushi pe aaj mujhe sharam si aati hai.

Ab jo bhi likhta hoon, alfaaz gum se bhare hain,
Har pankti mein tera dard nazar aata hai.

Teri judai ne mujhe khud se milne se roka hai,
Har muskurahat ab bas ek dhokha lagti hai.

Waqt ne mujhe iss had tak akela kar diya hai,
Ke awaazon mein bhi ab bas teri kami milti hai.

Tere khayalon ki baarish mujh par roz hoti hai,
Par koi chhat nahi jisse main apna dard chhupa loon.

Har raat jab chaand nikalta hai, tera chehra aata hai,
Phir kuch ghanton ke liye main zinda ho jaata hoon.

Maine apna har khwab tere naam kar diya tha,
Ab sapne bhi mujhse rooth kar door chal diye hain.

Teri baton ka asar ab har lamhe par dikhta hai,
Bas teri kami hi mera sach hai aaj.

Woh pal jab tu saath thi, aaj khamoshiyan bolti hain,
Har awaaz mein tera gum chhupa rehta hai.

Maine socha tha waqt sab kuch theek kar dega,
Magar teri yaad ka dard mazboot hota gaya.

Tere bina bhi main khud ko khush dikhata hoon,
Par raaton mein sirf tera khayal jagata hai.

Har kisi se darne laga hoon main ab,
Kyunki har rishta mujhse pehle tod chuka hai.

Tere naam ka junoon ab mera dard ban gaya,
Har soch mein tera hi chehra nazar aata hai.

Woh pal jab tu hans deti thi, duniya roshan lagti thi,
Ab usi hansii ki ankhon mein aansu chhup gaye.

Tere chhod dene ka dard aisa hai kehte rehta hoon,
Har nayi subah mujhe tera intezar sikhaati hai.

Main apne dard ko chhupa ke muskurata hoon,
Log kehte hain main mazboot hoon, par main to tut raha hoon.

Tere jaane ke baad ghar mein khamoshi reh gayi,
Har cheez mein tera nishan dikhai deta hai.

Teri yaadon ne mujhe raaton ka aksar kar diya,
Din bhar ki thakaan bhi teri yaad mein gum ho jaati hai.

Aansu chhupane ke liye muskurahat pehna leta hoon,
Par dil ke kone se tera dard kabhi nahi nikalta.

Woh baat jo kabhi hum dono mein thi, ab hawa ho gayi,
Bas teri kami ka jazba har jagah dikhai deta hai.

Maine socha tha waqt sab kuch bhula dega,
Par teri yaad ne har nayi raah ko rok diya hai.

Woh yaar jo kabhi sabse kareeb tha, aaj door hai,
Uski yaad mere har pal ko dard se bhar deti hai.

Teri khamoshi ka matlab ab samajh aata hai,
Ke tu bhi kisi dard se guzri hogi.

Har khushi ka thikana ab tere bina khali hai,
Main apni aansuon ko chupane mein mahir ho gaya hoon.

Tere jaane se pehle sab kuch roshan tha,
Ab har cheez mein bas tera saaya reh gaya hai.

Woh raat jab hum saath the, aaj yaad banke reh gayi,
Har subah mujhe teri kami ka ehsaas dilati hai.

Dil ke har kona mein teri khamoshi bas gayi hai,
Main khud se darta hoon kyunki tera gum mere saath hai.

Har lamha teri koi nayi yaad nikal laata hai,
Phir se wohi purana dard dil mein jagta hai.

Tere bina bhi main tera intezar karta hoon,
Ye aadat ab meri pehchaan ban gayi hai.

Woh dard jo aaj tak beyaan nahi hua,
Shayad woh teri bewafai ka sach hai.

Teri yaadon ka silsila kabhi khatam nahi hota,
Har raat woh kisi nayi kahani suna jaati hai.

Dil tootne ke baad bhi main khud ko sambhalta hoon,
Par teri kami se phir bhi har cheez bekaar lagti hai.

Tujhse juda ho kar bhi tera asar reh gaya,
Har khushi mujhse door palti nazar aati hai.

Woh baatein jo kabhi saath ki, aaj yaadon mein dhundli hain,
Par unki chhaap ab bhi mere dil par gehri hai.

Har pal tera zikr mere saath rehta hai,
Par tu kabhi wapas aane ka irada nahi karti.

Teri judai ne mujhe khamosh kar diya hai,
Bas dard hi mera sath nibhata reh gaya hai.

Woh yaad jab tu gaali se hans deta tha, ab kaun yaad karega,
Mere dil ki har pukar ab khaali si lagti hai.

Tere jaane se pehle zindagi rangin thi,
Ab har rang mujhe udasi se dikhai deta hai.

Har nayi mulaqat ke aage ab dar lagta hai,
Kyunki teri kami har jagah nazar aati hai.

Woh dard jo dil ke kone mein basa hai, chupke se rota hai,
Par main use duniya se chhupa ke rakhta hoon.

Teri yaadon ka bojh dheere-dheere bardasht se bahar hai,
Par main phir bhi tere naam har lafz likhta hoon.

Har ek pal mujhe teri kami ka ehsaas dilata hai,
Phir bhi main teri yaadon ko apna sahara banata hoon.

Aaj bhi teri ek muskurahat mere liye sab kuch hai,
Par woh muskurahat kabhi meri nazar nahi aayi.

Woh dard jo kabhi shaayad main bayan na kar paun,
Use main har raat khamoshi se sajata hoon.

Teri yaad jab bhi aati hai to dil hila deta hai,
Phir woh waqt bhi nikal jaata hai jab main khush tha.

Har kahani ab tere dard se judi nazar aati hai,
Main khud se poochta hoon kahan kho gaya woh pyar.

Tere jaane ka gham ab bhi taza hai mere saath,
Par main himmat kar ke zindagi se ladta hoon roz.

Aansu jo aate hain chupke se, unhe main khamosh rakhta hoon,
Taaki tera naam kisi se jata na ho mujhse.

Woh dard jo tere aloof hone se mila, gehra hai,
Par main phir bhi tere liye dua karta hoon.

Teri yaad ke aage meri taqat kam pad jaati hai,
Phir bhi main khud ko sambhal ke aage badhta hoon.
