Kal kisi ka chehra yaad aaya

kal shaam raah pe chalte chalte mujhe ek khayaal aaya,
kisi ko kareeb se guzarte dekh kisi ka chehra yaad aaya,

jinke har khayaal ko hum mita chuke the apne dil se,
fir se ek baar mujhe wo masoom sa chehra nazar aaya,

wo chehra jisse mujhe mohabbat thi, jo meri zindagi thi,
us chehre ko dekh dil me mohabbat ka sailaab umad aaya,

jiski har nishaani mita chuke the hum bhulaake uski yaad,
shaam us chehre ko dekh yaadon ka toofaan mere ghar aaya,

ye chehra wo chehra nahi tha jo kabhi meri hua karti thi,
jaane kyun us ko dekh mujhe mere sanam ka chehra nazar aaya,

shaam raah pe chalte huye kisi ka chehra kahin nazar aaya,
kyun mujhe aisa laga ki mera mehboob fir se laut kar aaya.....
