dard ghum aur tanhaai

dard kare kaise bayaan,
dardmand hai jab apni dastaan,

sunaane se pehle hi aankhein bhar aati hain,
dard ghum aur tanhaai de jaati hain,

badnaseeb nikla main jo pyaar na paa saka,
paas hote huye bhi unke kareeb na aa saka,

shayad na thi naseeb mein chahat apni,
apno ko bhi na thi zaroorat apni,

aise gham ka maara hoon main,
jeet kar bhi unhein haara hoon main,

kaise kahun ki kisi ke jeene ka sahaara tha main,
andhera jiska saath na chorde,
aise ek sitaara hoon main,

dil ne chaha ki likhde gham-e-dil ek naye andaaz mein,
mil jaaye koi humraaz tujhe apne humraaj mein.
