Dil tanha akele rota hai

ye mohabbat bhi ajeeb ehsaas hai
na to jeene deta hai
na hi marne deta hai
bas tanhaayi me aake tadpata hai

main bhi aksar khoya rehta hoon
aankhen khol ke soya rehta hoon
dard nahi hota hai fir bhi
jaise har pal roya rehta hoon

wo aansoo jo mere dil se behte hain
aksar mujhse yahi kehte hain
ki kyun khud ko tu jalata hai
par ye aansoo behte rehte hain

wo meri hoke bhi meri na ho saki
mujhse dur jaake bhi khush na reh saki
socha karti hai aaj bhi mere baare me
wo meri mohabbat ko bhula na saki

kyun aisa hota hai ki khushi do pal ki
aur dard zindagi bhar ke liye milte hain
kyun dil dard me dooba rehta hai aur
muskuraane k liye wajah nahi milte hain

aasaan hai kisi ko bhi chaah lena
par kyun kisi ko bhulaana mushkil hota hai
bas inhi khayaalon me mera dil khoya rehta hai
aur un yaadon me kho ke tanha akele rota hai.....
