Ehsaan

woh shaqs jaate jaate aankhon mein paani de gayaa
mujhe jeene ke liye woh ghum ki nishaani de gayaa

maine khwaab kitne hi sajaaye the uske sangh magar
tod ke saare khwaab adhuri si ek kahaani de gayaa

naa koi saahil hai naa hi hai koi sahaaraa kareeb
zindaa rehne ke liye ek kashti baadbaani de gayaa

ghaaw itne gehre kiye ki main usko naa bhulaa saku
ehsaan thaa woh jism mein dard ki rawaani de gayaa

kyaa shikaayat usse karun pehle woh mere saath thaa
kuch palon kaa saath de ke tanhaa zindagaani de gayaa

de gayaa haathon mein woh meraa wahi sukhaa gulaab
is ke saath woh mujhe woh chitthi puraani de gayaa

woh jaate jaate de gayaa mujhe muskuraane ki kasam
meraa lootke saaraa jahaan itni si meherbaani de gayaa
