aankhon mein pani jane kyun nikal aate hain

tanhaai mein jo seene mein machal jaate hain,
dard wahi mere lafzon mein dhal jaate hain,

jin ke pehlu mein dhadakta hua dil hota hai,
gham ke siddat se wahi log pighal jaate hain,

bahut koshish karte hain chhupane ki isse,
aankhon mein pani jane kyun nikal aate hain,

sochte hain ki chhord denge is shehar ko ab,
pata nahin kaise mere irade badal jaate hain,

bhatak jate hain kabhi-kabhi kisi raah se hum,
par ab tanha-tanha hi hum sambhal jaate hain.
