kitni baatein jo rah gayi thi adhuri
aaj ja ke wo ho ri poori
mai thi anjan un halato se
jo bit gyi barso na jane kin bahano se
jalti thi nafrat ki us aag me
socha koi nahi mera is jamane me
tere pahlu se mai anjaan thi
biti jo tujhpe wo bhi khairat ti
anbhigya anjan tere halato se
karti rahi mai nafrat tere halato se
baatein thi dil me darmiyan bahut
par unke jawabo se mai ghabrati thi
darti thi chera jo dabe zakhmo ko
dardo pe malham kaise lagaungi
shabdein jo rah gyi thi baki
unko kaise mai batlaungi
ek baar jo toot gyi mai
khud ko kaise sambhalungj
na jane kitno ke dilo se mai khel jaungi..
