Ek anjaana sa chehra

ek anjaana sa chehra kuch apna sa lagne laga,
koi to hai aisa jise main apna samajhne laga,
dekhi hai tasveer uski, usko kabhi dekha nahi,
ab to khayalon me bhi uska chehra dikhne laga,

mile the zindagi ke mod pe yun chalte chalte,
kisi ki baaton me main apni awaaz sunne laga,
na mile kabhi, na pata wo kaisi lagti hogi,
par uske hone se ab har samaa mehekne laga,

hamare khaton ka silsila kuch is tarha shuru hua,
wo mujhse apni baat aur main usse apni kehne laga,
apne dil ki har baat ko hum dil me band na rakhke,
wo mujhse kehne lagi aur main usse bhi kehne laga,

jaane ye kaisa rishta hai, jaane kaisa naata hai,
ab to raat bhar humein jagne ka mazaa aane laga,
dard ki deewaaron me kuch is tarha ghira hua tha,
deewaarein sab dheh gayi aur dard dur jaane laga,

ab har subah uske hi naam, shaam bhi uska hua,
waqt ka hi khel hai sab, waqt bhi jaane laga,
har ghadi uski hi baatein, har ghadi uski hi yaadein,
mumkin nahi ye saath pyaare main khud ko samjhaane laga,

tanha thi har raat meri, tanha hi har din bhi tha,
ab to us tanhaayi ka bhi mujhko mazaa aane laga,
saath paake us ajnabi ka, achcha sa lagne laga,
kuch anjaana sa wo chehra kuch apna sa lagne laga,

koi to hai aisa jise main apna samajhne laga,
ek anjaana sa chehra kuch apna sa lagne laga....
