Aap ke naam:

Arz kiya hai…

Tum kya jaano is dil par kya guzarti hai,
Jab tumne baat karna hi chhod diya…

Har raat aankhon me tumhari tasveer sajti hai,
Aur dil ki har dhadkan bas tumhara naam dhundhti hai.

Khamoshi me bhi tumhari hansi ki goonj sunai deti hai,
Par tumhari doori ne is dil ko tanha kar diya.

Jise humne apna samjha, usne yunhi saath chhod diya,
Rishte ki roshni me sirf andhera hi reh gaya.

Har lamha yaadon me tumhari khushboo mehsoos hoti hai,
Par haqiqat me sirf khaali yaadon ka saaya rehta hai.

Kabhi socha tha, baat karte rahenge hum sada,
Par tumhari chand lamhon ki doori ne sab kuch mita diya.

Dil ke kone me chhupa dard koi samajh nahi paya,
Aur humne khud ko bas yunhi tanha kar diya.

Har muskaan jo tumhari thi, ab sirf yaadon me hai,
Aur jo baatein hum karte the, ab unki goonj bhi gayi.

Tumhari aankhon me jo jhalak thi, wo ab doori me kho gayi,
Aur dil ke har kone me bas ek khamoshi si reh gayi.

Kuch pal ke liye chaaha tha bas tumhara saath,
Par waqt ne yunhi rishte ko apni lakeeron me bandh diya.

Har baar dil ko samjhaya, khud se hi poochha,
“Shayad woh laut kar aayegi, shayad waqt sudhar dega…”

Par yun na hua, sirf ek khamoshi ka saaya reh gaya,
Aur humne bas apni aankhon se aansu chhupa liye.

Har ek lafz jo tumne kaha, wo ab gunguna ke yaadon me hai,
Aur jo na kaha, wo bas dil ke andar dard banke reh gaya.

Ab bhi kabhi tumhari soch aati hai, to dil hil jata hai,
Aur hum bas yaadon me tumhara haath tham lete hain.

Tum kya jaano is dil par kya guzarti hai,
Tum ne baat kar hi chhod diya…
