Mere chehre par khushi toh hain,
Par dil ke kone mein veeraniyaan hain,
Hansi hai, magar wo bas ek naqaab hain,
Andar toh bas bechaini si kahaaniyan hain.

Woh shaqs jo kabhi tha saath mere,
Ab sirf uski purani yaadein hi bachi hain,
Ek pal ka safar tha khushiyon ka,
Ab bas uski adhoori nishani hi reh gayi hain.

Raaste jo humne mil ke chune the,
Ab un raahon pe sirf dhool si chhayi hai,
Wo pal jo kabhi apna tha,
Aaj bas ek anjaan si kahani ban gayi hai.

Log badalte hain har pal, har daur ke sath,
Jaise patton ka rang har mausam ke sath,
Mohabbat bhi ek dhund si reh gayi hain,
Jismein sachcha pyar kahin kho-sa gaya hain.

Zindagi ke rang bhi adhoore lagtey hain,
Aur khushiyon ke sapne bhi jaise adhure hain.
Yeh duniya toh bas jhooth ka jaal hain,
Jisne sachcha pyar manga, wo hi bechain har pal hain.

Jiski kabhi asmaan mein udney ki khwaish thi,
Aaj apne aasuon ka bojh bhi nahi utha pa raha hain.
Woh shaqs jo apne vade par hi jeeta tha,
Aaj unhi vaadon ke bojh se thak chuka hain.

Khwaabon ke sheher mein humne sapne dekhe the,
Ab wo khwaab bas dhundli yaadein ban ke reh gaye.
Dil mein jo khushi thi, ab woh ek gham hain,
Aur ye duniya bas ek khokhli tasveer me band hain.

Aaj kal ki kahaniyaan mukammal hoti kahan hain,
Yeh zindagi toh sirf ek dikhawa hain,
Jisne sachcha pyar kabhi kiya tha,
Woh khud ek kahani ka hissa ban gaya hain.

Ab toh bas khamosh lamhein hain mere paas,
Aur dil mein bassi hai ek aadhi-adhuri aas,
Jo kabhi tha zinda pyar ke khatir,
Ab sirf bechaini ka zinda saboot hai, is chhupi kahani ka.
