Likhna to bas ek bahaanaa hai

tumhaare kareeb rehke naa jaan paaye jitna tumse duur aake jaanaa hai,

sach kahen to tumse juda ho ke hi humne tumhe dhang se pehchaanaa hai,

band aankhon se tumhaari chhavi ko dil me basaayaa tha kabhi humne,

khuli aankhon se dekhaa aaj to jaanaa ki jhootaa saaraa zamaanaa hai,

samjhaayaa bahut tha apno ne humein ki tum apne nahi ho sakte mere,

unke un baaton ka mol tumse judaa ho ke hi humne ab jaanaa hai,

kaun apna hai kaun paraayaa hai samajhne me bahut der lagi humein,

khwaab jhoote the humaare ye un khwaabon ke tutne ke baad jaanaa hai,

likhta hoon dard-e-dil ka haal, par ye likhna to bas ek bahaanaa hai,

kaagaz to bas ek zariyaa hai jisse humein un ghamon ko bhulaana hai,

galti hamaari thi jo bin soche samjhe pyaar kar baithe tumse hum,

tumhaare yaadon ko seene se lagaake is jahaan se guzar jaanaa hai...
