thaam lo mujhe kahi doob na jaau

aaj tujh se baat huyi,

laga mere dukho ki raat huyi,
aashk aankho se bahane lage,

bahate huye ye kahane lage,

ke ek din main bhi tere jaisa tha,

pyaar main bhi kerta tha,
need meri bhi jaati thi,

kagaj ke tukade se khushi laut aati thi,

seene mein dard hone laga hai,

yaado mein dil dubane laga hai,
phir wahi din yaad aa rahein hain,

dil ko aur dukha rahe hain,

khamosh baitha tha main kab se,

sab ab mujhe jaga rahein hain,
bheed mein akela ho gaya hoon,

aaj main tujh mein kho gaya hoon,

thaam lo mujhe kahi doob na jaau,

din to dekh na paaya,
kahi raat bhi na dekh paau.
