kyun dil ko mera sirf unka intzaar tha

muddat se jiske waaste dil bekarar tha,
woh laut kar na aayi magar uska intezaar tha,

jo humsafar thi chord gayi raah me mujhe,
main phass gaya bhanwar me woh darya ke paar the,

manzil kareeb aayi to tum door ho gaye,
itna to tum batao ki yeh kaisa pyaar tha,

bizlli gira di yeh kisne humare darmiyan,
wo sakoon se baithe rahe, par mujhko na karaar tha,

yeh kaisa haal tha unke rukhsat ke waqt ka,
aankhon me aanshu aur dil bekaraar tha,

yeh baat umar bhar samjh na paaya main,
kyun dil ko mera sirf unka intzaar tha...
