Kisi ne apnaayaa nahi

koi thaa nahi apnaa, kisi ne apnaayaa bhi nahi
jise apnaa samjhaa, woh samajh paayaa bhi nahi

bahut andheraa hai yahaan, roshni kaise hogi
koi chiraag maine ghar mein jalaayaa bhi nahi

poochhaa aaine ne mujhse, mere ghum kaa sabab
sach aaine ko kabhi maine, bataayaa bhi nahi

kaisaa hotaa hai ehsaas seene se lagaane kaa
barson se kisi ko seene se lagaayaa bhi nahi

shaayad bhool chukaa hoon matlab mohabbat kaa
arse se mohabbat par ghazal banaayaa bhi nahi

bataao naa kaisaa lagtaa hai muskuraane mein
yeh 'Hriday' sadiyon se muskuraayaa bhi nahi
