Arz kiya hai…
Mere marne ke baad, kya nazaray ho rahe honge
Kuch zabardast, to kuch zabardasti ro rahe honge
Jo kehte they never leave you, mujhe chhod kar
Shayad woh sab kahin aur ho rahe honge
Jin ke liye humne smile karke har dard seha
Woh aaj meri kahaniyan sun rahe honge
Kuch aankhen sachi nami se bheeg jaayengi yaqeenan
Aur kuch rasm-e-duniya nibhaane ko ro rahe honge
Zindagi bhar jinhein waqt na mila haal poochne ka
Mere jaane ke baad wohi sab pooch rahe honge
Woh jo khushi se bhare the mere saath har lamha
Shayad ab unki muskaan bhi adhuri ho rahe honge
Har yaad jo humne dil se sajaayi thi
Woh aaj unke khayalon mein jeeti ho rahe honge
Shayad kuch log sirf aadat se ro rahe honge
Aur kuch log dil se duaa kar rahe honge
Main khamosh mitti mein so raha honga be-khabar
Aur upar duniya wale har haal mein react kar rahe honge
Shayad kuch dilon mein meri yaad ki roshni jal rahi hongi
Aur kuch dard ke saaye abhi bhi unpe chhaye rahe honge
Phir bhi main muskurata rahoon ga apni khamoshi mein
Kyoonke har aansoo aur har khushi ka safar meri kahani mein ho rahe honge…
