Ek teraa deewaanaa thaa

teri bewafaai kaa yeh achchaa bahaanaa thaa
qatl tune kiyaa aur gunehgaar zamaanaa thaa

meri laash par aa ke phool chadhaanaa teraa
hai mohabbat abhi, bas itnaa dikhaanaa thaa

dard, dagaa, zakhm aur bachi thi raakh thodi
inhi se bannaa mere chaahat ka afsaanaa thaa

sadak par jis phool ko kuchal ke gayi thi tu
meraa tujh ko diyaa woh gulaab puraanaa thaa

teri doli saji thi jaane ko tere ghar se jab
tujhe jaate huwe dekh mujhe muskuraanaa thaa

naakaam mohabbat ki koi daastaan likhun main
shayad isi liye mere kareeb teraa aanaa thaa

waastaa diyaa thaa tu ne apne hi rishton kaa
magar shaayad tujhe hi mujhse dur jaanaa thaa

dhuwaan saa uth_taa dikh rahaa hai naa tujhe
adhuri mohabbat thi ant mein jal jaanaa thaa

dekhti kabhi gaur se tu meri in aankhon mein
tujhe usme teraa hi aks nazar aa jaanaa thaa

jis arthi ko jaate dekhaa thaa tu ne us roz
koi aur nahi woh ek teraa hi deewaanaa thaa
