Ek lamhaa

bas ek baar tumne mud ke dekhaa hotaa

to shaayad aaj hum saath hote, shaayad...

abhi main tumhaari moujudgi ko 

mehsoos bhi naa kar paayaa thaa

ki tumne jaane ki baat kar di

dur hameshaa hameshaa ke liye....

ek lamhe mein main toot gayaa

jaise kuch apnaa chhoot rahaa ho

kuch khaas, jiski mujhe zarurat hai

jiske binaa main bilkul akelaa hoon....

main tumhe jaate huye dekh rahaa thaa

dil se awaaz aa rahi thi tumhe rokun

magar jaane kyun hothon tak pahuchi nahi

kuch thaa jo mujhe rok rahaa thaa....

ek aawaaz kuch koshish mein thi

kuch samjhaa rahi thi, magar kyaa

shaayad kehnaa chaahti thi mujhse

ki tum khush nahi ho, saath mere....

mumkin nahi hai tumhe baandhe rakhnaa

tumhaare liye to khulaa aasmaan hai

kyaa milegaa is gareeb ke paas tumhe

pyaar ke siwaa kuch bhi de saktaa nahi....

bas ki baat nahi mere tumhe kuch doon

kuch khaas jo ho tumhaare jaisaa, anmol

tum chaand ho, aur main hoon kankad koi

zameen par padaa huwaa, jise kuchlaa sabne....

bas inhi khayaalon mein khud ko baandh ke

maine tumhe aawaaz nahi lagaayi, chup rahaa

rotaa rahaa dil meraa, cheekh cheekh ke

aur zubaan khaamosh rahi, main chup rahaa....

kasoor naa tumhaaraa naa meraa hi thaa kuch

kasoor to bas us lamhe kaa thaa jo guzar gayaa

naa maine rokaa tumhe, naa hi tum ruk paaye

woh lamhaa humein sadaa ke liye judaa kar gayaa....
