Arz kiya hai…
Saalon baad kabhi milunga tumse,
Tab bhi waise hi khamosh sa reh jaunga…
Nigahon ke jhilmil se bach kar,
Apne hi saaye mein lipat kar guzarta jaunga.
Zamaane bhar ki baaton se kya lena,
Hum to abhi tak usi mod par thahre hue hain…
Jahan tum ne pal bhar ko ruk kar dekha tha,
Aur hum umar bhar ke liye ruk gaye hain.
Kash tum sochogi, ke waqt ne badla hoga mujhe,
Par haqiqat to yeh hai ke main wahi purana sa reh gaya…
Jisne mohabbat ko ek imaan samajh kar rakha,
Aur judaai ko ek ibadat ki tarah jhela.
Tab bhi yehi kahunga apne dil hi dil mein,
Ke pyaar aaj bhi tumse hi hai, tumse hi hoga…
Chahe rishte badal jaayein, raaste badal jaayein,
Dil ki duniya ka toh ek hi qaayda hai — tum ho, aur tum hi rehna.
Agar tum poochh baitho ke kyun nahi bhool paaya main,
Toh muskura kar sirf itna hi keh paunga…
“Kuch rishte waqt se nahi, duaon se chalne wale hote hain,
Aur unme se ek, tumhara mera bhi tha.”
