Arz kiya hai…
Wo to tumne majboor kar diya juda hone pe, warna…
Hum to tumhare jhoote pyaar se bhi muhabbet nibha lete.
Tumne pal bhar me faisla kar liya judai ka,
Hum hote to us ek pal ko bhi ibadat bana lete.
Tumne jo yuhi jaane diya, woh bhi hume manzoor tha,
Hum to tumhari har ada ko apni kismat samajh lete.
Kal tak jo humari dhadkanon ka raaz the tum,
Aaj bhi chaho to hum apni rooh me tumhe basa lete.
Tum chhod kar gaye to mehfilen bhi be-taqalluf ho gayi,
Warna hum to tumhare saath khamoshiyon ko bhi geet bana lete.
Aaj log kehte hain ke hum badal gaye, muskuraate nahi,
Unhe kya pata—tum wapas aate to hum phir se hans pade.
Tumhari yaadon ki mehfil me ab bhi khud ko akela paata hoon,
Nahi to hum to tumhari har nazar ko taqdeer samajh lete.
Sach bataun? Ishq ka hisaab kabhi barabar nahi hota,
Tum na sahi, tumhari kambakht kami se hi jee lete.
Jhooth ho ya sach… tum the to dil ko sahara milta,
Ab to hum bas aansuon se apni raaton ko sulha lete.
