Tum jo ab saath nahin, phoolon kee khushaboo barasaat nahin,
beete lamhon kee yaaden behad hain tanhaee,
dil mein basee ek khvaab jaise, jo hakeekat nahin,
jaise phijaon mein ho roothee huee bahaar nahin.

Dard bharee ye raaten, tanhaee ka sangeet,
bina tumhaare saath, jeena lagata hai veeraan,
tumhaaree yaadon ka sahaara, dil ke kareeb hai,
par tumhaaree judaee kee chuppee, dil ko bahut sataatee hai.

Kabhee-kabhee lagata hai, tumhaaree aavaaz aa rahee hai,
par phir dekha to vo tum nahin, bas ek khvaab tha vo,
tumhaaree khushaboo mahasoos hotee hai, phoolon mein, havaon mein,
par tumhaaree muskaan kee taajagee, ab meree jindagee se door hai.
