Intezar kiska karne lage ho,
Yakinan kisi se hui hai mohabbat,
Bina baat ke muskuraane lage ho.
Lata hai dur se pavan khabar aapki,
Dil me mehsus karta hu dard ki aas aapki,
Koshish bekar karte hai aap dil ki baat chhupane ki,
Haqeeqat bayan karti hai yeh nazarein aapki.
Yaad karne ke liye koi cheez chahiye,
Aap nahi to aapki tasvir chahiye,
Lekin aap ki tasvir humara dil behla na shakegi,
Kyuki woh aapki tarah muskura na shakegi.
Taro ko keh do tim-timana chhod de,
Suraj se kaho apni roshni dena chhod de,
Agar tum nahi shakte to,
Tumhari yado se kaho hume satana chhod de.
Shaam dhali phir kali raat aayi,
Dil dhadka phir tumhari yaad aayi,
Aankho ne mehsus kiya us hawa ko,
Jo tumhe chhukar humare paas aayi.
Har bar itefaq nahi hota,
Har ladki se pyaar nahi hota,
Jise na chaha woh khafa ho gayi,
Jise chaha woh bewafa ho gayi.
Mere aane ki aahat pe shama jalayi hogi,
Kabhi judai ke gam se aankh bhar aayi hogi,
Fikar na kar mayus na ho mere yaar,
Us rab ne apne milne ki bhi sham banayi hogi.
Woh is kadar ruthe ki manaya na gaya,
Dur itne ho gaye ki pas bulaya na gaya,
Dil to dil tha samandar ki ret nahi,
Likh diya jo nam aapka to phir mitaya na gaya.
Vaade pe woh mere aetbaar nahi karte,
Hum izahar-e-mohabbat sare bazar nahi karte,
Darta hai dil unki rusvaiyo se, aur
woh samajte hai ki hum unse pyar nahi karte.
Pani ka ek katra aankh se gira abhi abhi,
Kya tumne mujko yaad kiya abhi abhi,
Tumse mile zamana hua magar yu laga,
Koi mujse mil ke gaya abhi abhi.
Lehre aati hai, kinaro se takrati hai,
Teri yaad aake dil me samati hai,
Lehre aur yaadon me bas fark sirf itna hai,
Lehre bewaqt aati hai, aur teri yaad har waqt aati hai.
Aankho me khushi, labo pe hasi, gam ka kahi naam na ho,
Aapko is jaha ki sari khushiya mile, un khushiyo ki kabhi shaam na ho.
