na tu waqt se pehle aayi,
na hi waqt se jyaada...
tha jab tak tha, saath tera,
tab tak hi tha tera har vaada...

na tu abr se banke koi baarish aayi,
na hi banke kisi sabr ki guzarish aayi.
jo puri na ho saki mere dil tak,
tere dil se banke wo sifaarish aayi...

na gunjaish rakhi maine kisi kal ki,
itni hairaniyat thi har guzarte pal ki..
Maine bata diya tha mera raasta hai kaanto bhara,
aur aas tumhe thi jaise chadar koi makhmal ki..

par sach tha jab tak tha, ishq tumhara muzse,
is baat par to nahi koi gila tuzse...
shayad ab na ho, par mera hai tuzse,
vahi ishq jo mera wajood samazkar kiya hai tuzse...
