unki duniya kabhi bas hum se hua karti thi

kabhi subah se kabhi sham se larda karti thi,
mudatein hui ek shamma yahan jala karti thi,

kya baat hui ki aaj wo shama band ho gayi,
ek khirdki jo kabhi pure din khula karti thi,

sehamta hai dil kyun ab ke bar iss toofan mein,
garajte the badal bijli pehle bhi gira karti thi,

kuch rang adhure mere armaano ke hain warna,
na umeedi iss dil se door hi raha karti thi,

khata meri hi thi jo duniya se dil laga baitha,
yeh kambakht pehle kab kisi se wafa karti thi,

main unse keh raha hoon mujhe yaad kejiye,
kabhi meri yaad jinki dhardkan huwa karti thi,

dekho aaj hum unki dunya me shamil hi nahi,
jinki duniya kabhi bas hum se hua karti thi.
