Arz kiya hai…
Saari duniya ki muhabbat se kinaara karke,
Humne rakha faqt khud ko tumhara karke.
Dil ne jab se tumhari rooh ko apna humsafar maana,
Tab se har dard ko bhi humne muskurahat se chhupaakar ke.
Tumhari kami ne mujhe bechain toh kiya,
Par uss bechaini mein bhi tumhara nishaan hi mila.
Har dhadkan ne tumhe hi pukara raat Bhar,
Jaise rooh tumhe apni ibadat samajh kar ke.
Kabhi tum door hokar bhi kitne qareeb lagte ho,
Jaise hawa ka ek jhonka tera naam lekar guzarta ho.
Main ruk jaata hoon har mod par bas itna sochkar,
Kahin tum bhi mujhe yaad kar rahe ho chupke se kahin samaa badal kar ke.
Zindagi ka har mod tum se hi roshan hai,
Chahe tum ho ya na ho… tumhari hi parchhai chalti hai.
Mere qadam bhi tumhare hi hawale ho gaye,
Main chalta hoon toh lagta hai tumhari taraf badh kar ke.
Kabhi kisi sheher ki bheed mein khoya hota hoon,
Toh tumhari ek muskurahat ka khayal mujhe wapas jeeta deta hai.
Kabhi thak kar rukta hoon toh yaad tumhari awaaz ki hoti hai,
Jo dil ko phir se uthati hai hosh sambhaal kar ke.
Log kehte hain ishq waqt se kamzor pad jaata hai,
Par humne toh waqt ko bhi tumhara raazi bana liya.
Har pal tumhara zikr karta raha dil,
Aur waqt ne bhi tumhara saath hamare hisaab se badal kar ke.
Aaj bhi jab raat ka pehla sitara chamakta hai,
Usse pehle tumhara chehra yaad aata hai.
Aur main sochta hoon, kaash iss lamhe tum paas hote,
Jab main dua mein tumhara naam uthaa kar ke.
Saari duniya ki mohabbat se kinaara karke,
Humne apni rooh ka safar hi tumse jod diya.
Zindagi chahe jahan tak le jaye,
Yeh dil toh tumhara hi rahega — sadaa tumhara karke…
