Tu ne seene se lagaayaa thaa

ek bas tu hi thi, jisne mujhe seene se lagaayaa thaa
teraa hi chehraa dekh, yeh 'Hriday' muskuraayaa thaa

jab gher rakhaa thaa mujhe gham ke ghane andheron ne
tab tune hi pyaar se jeene kaa matlab sikhaayaa thaa

jab sooraj ki roshni bhi kam thi in andheron ke liye
woh chiraag jis se roshni hui woh tune jalaayaa thaa

jab chhat se mujhpar baarish ki boondein tapakti thi
tab tune hi mujhpar apnaa aanchal woh lehraayaa thaa

jab kashti meri fasi thi bich samundar toofaano mein
use saahil tak laane ko tune hi saath nibhaayaa thaa

naa ummeed thi kuch jeene ki, naa hi koi khwaaish thi
khaamosh si zindagi mein aawaaz ban kar tu aayaa thaa

jab thak chukaa thaa main apni zindagi se haar maanke
zindagi khoobsoorat hai, yeh tune hi samjhaayaa thaa
