Bahut der se gaye

unko jaanaa tha apne raaste, wo chale gaye,
ghum is baat ka hai ki wo bahut der se gaye,

humne jo mahal banaaye the khwaabon ke kabhi,
wo khwaab kaanch ke the jinhe wo tod ke gaye,

dil apna deewaana tha jisne sirf unhi ko chaaha,
unko taras bhi naa aayi jab tanha chhod ke gaye,

jinko dekh ke kabhi hum muskuraate the har pal,
aaj wahi hamaare aankhon me aansoo chhod ke gaye,

unko jaanaa tha apne raaste, wo chale gaye,
ghum is baat ka hai ki wo bahut der se gaye....
