haa ab jeene ko man nahi karta

aaj phir maan udaas hai,
ab jeene ko man nahi karta,
tu paas hai phirbhi,
yeh kaisa ahesaas hai?

jo jatata hai ki tu meri nahi hai,
aur bas iss ek ahesaas ne,
mera jeena dushwaar kar diya hai.

aaj tak tere hi dum par saans leta tha,
tujh se hi to meri subah thi,
aur tere saaye mein hi to
meri shaam machalti thi.

ab raat katati hai taare gin ginkar,
sooni hai sadak meri zindagi ki,
aur aane wala bhi nahi koi shayed,
haa ab jeene ko man nahi karta.
