Arz kiya hai…
Tumhari yaadon ka sahara mil jaaye jis raat,
Woh raat bhi ibadat ban jaati hai aawaaz uthakar ke.
Dil thak kar ruk jaaye chahe kitni baar safar mein,
Tumhara sochna hi use phir zinda kar jaata hai sambhaal kar ke.
Kabhi tumhari khamoshi bhi shayari ban jaati hai,
Kabhi tumhari doori bhi qareebi ka ehsaas dilaati hai.
Main tanha bhi hoon, par tanha kabhi nahi lagta,
Tumhari parchhai saath chalti hai, qadam se qadam milaa kar ke.
Zindagi ne bahut imtihaan diye humko,
Par hum har baar tumhare naam se guzre hain.
Jahan log thak jaate hain rishte nibhate nibhate,
Humne tumhe dil ke upar likh liya hai, saanse milaakar ke.
Maaloom hai, har dua ka jawaab turant nahi milta,
Par humne kabhi tumhara zikr chhoda hi nahi.
Yeh dil bhi ajeeb hai, har baar toot kar kehta hai,
“Bas tumko chahiye… chahe kitni kez dafa patthar banakar ke.”
Kabhi socha tha ishq sirf shabdon ka khel hoga,
Lekin tumne sab kuch badal diya — ehsaas banke.
Aaj bhi jab raat ka andhera dil ko ghera leta hai,
Tumhari ek halki si muskurahat yaad kar ke roshni aa jaati hai ghar banke.
Log puchte hain, kyun itna yaqeen hai tum par?
Main bas muskura deta hoon… kya kahein hum unse.
Yeh rooh bhi tumhari hai, yeh dhadkan bhi tumhari,
Humein toh sab kuch mila tumhe apni duaon ka markaz bana kar ke.
Aaj bhi jab hawa dheere se pardoon ko hilati hai,
Lagta hai tumhare kadmon ki aahat aa rahi ho.
Aur jab chand apna noor zyada ghata deta hai,
Dil kehta hai tum is waqt mujhe yaad kar rahe ho chupke se, ruk ruk kar ke.
Saari duniya ki mohabbat ek taraf ho jaaye,
Aur tumhara ek lamha ek taraf, toh hum tumhe hi chunenge.
Ishq ki duniya mein yeh mera faisla badalne wala nahi,
Hum tumhare hi rahein ge… apni zindagi ko tumhara karke.
