tere jane ke baad

mat pooch ke kya halat huyi hai tere jaane ke baad,
jaise koi ujrda chaman ho bahaar jaane ke baad,

tu thi to har koi hass kar mila karta tha,
ab sab paresaan-e-haal hai tere jaane ke baad,

tu thi to zindagi se mohabbat thi humein,
ab to bus din guzar rahe hain tere jaane ke baad,

tere hi dum se thi hamari saari khusiyaan,
ab mujhe kuch bhala nahi lagta tere jaane ke baad,

tere hi dum se thi yeh baharein, yeh mehfilein,
ab yahan kisi ka basar nahi tere jaane ke baad,

jo kismat mein ho jo woh ho kar hi rehta hai,
ab yehi dil ko samjhate rehte hain tere jane ke baad.
