Teraa yeh deewaanaa baaki reh gayaa

kaise soch liyaa tu ne ki akele gayi thi is shahar se
teri doli uthi thi us ghar se, meri arthi is ghar se


kuch naa rahaa, zaalim saa zamaanaa baaki reh gayaa
tere pichhe bas teraa yeh deewaanaa baaki reh gayaa

teri tasveer ko dekhkar muskuraa lete hain ab aksar
muskuraane kaa ab to bas ek bahaanaa baaki reh gayaa

tujhse hi to roshan huwaa karti thi meri yeh duniyaa
bujh gayi shamaa, bas yeh parwaanaa baaki reh gayaa

kore kaagaz par, tere naam ki kahaani shuru ki thi
aaj fir adhuraa saa ek aur afsaanaa baaki reh gayaa

ghazal ban hi jaataa koi khoobsoorat saa aaj fir se
sirf shabdon ko tarikey se sajaanaa baaki reh gayaa

kitni sooni hai meri yeh duniyaa tere bagaair, sach
tere jaane se pehle, tujhe bataanaa baaki reh gayaa

is jism se meri jaan to tere jaate hi nikal gayi thi
bas kaandho par is laash ko uthaanaa baaki reh gayaa

itnaa saa khayaal aayaa jab tu jaa rahi thi chhodkar
aakhri baar tujhe seene se lagaanaa baaki reh gayaa
