Ab koi umeed hi nahi hai zindagi se,
Dil ke armaan sabhi raakh ho gaye,
Chhoti si chahat thi kisi ke saath mein,
Ab toh bas khaali sapne bikhar gaye.

Kabhi socha tha, kuch apna hoga,
Chand sitare chhune ka irada tha,
Par ab toh sirf khaali haath hain,
Har khushi bas jhoota vaada tha.

Dil ke kone mein har ek aansu ko chhuppaya gaya,
Na kisi ko dikhaya, aur khud ko bhi bhulaya gaya,
Waqt se qaid tha jo dil ke andar,
Aakhir woh dard bhi raaste mein kho-sa gaya.

Raat ke andhere mein khamoshi thi chhayi,
Jahan kabhi roshni thi, ab andhere se bhari,
Jo kabhi apna tha, aaj door chala gaya,
Chhod gaya zindagi ki ek adhuri kahani.

Zindagi ek chalte hue silsile jaisi hai,
Jaise ek paheli, jisme raaste gum ho gaye,
Kisi ka intezaar nahi, bas chalte raho,
Jo mila usmein ab khushi ko khojte raho.

Aaj kal yeh raaste bhi ajnabi-se lagte hain,
Har mod par ek nayi udaasi chhupi hain,
Dil ki baat ab kisi-se kehne ka shauk nahi,
Yeh khamosh kahani bas khud-ko hi suna do.

Sapne bhi ab bojh se lagte hain,
Kahi dil mein ek khali jazba ab lagta hain.
Har khushi ek purani yaad si lagti hain,
Jise bas dard ki kahani se saja do.

Khatam hua ek silsila, kahani abhi zaari hain,
Na aankhon mein aansu, bas yaadein basi purani hain,
Ab bas khamoshi mein kahani khatam hone toh do zara,
Kyunki jo tha apna, woh khud se door ho chala.

Zindagi ka safar ek khwaab ka tukda tha,
Ab hawa ke saath behta chala gaya hain.
Wo sapna ab toot chuka hain, jo kabhi zinda tha,
Dil ki khamoshi mein bas, ek adhoori dastaan hain.
