woh log jo dil ke kareeb the

woh log jo dil ke kareeb the,
wahi log to be-imaan huye,
jo mohabbaton ke chukidaar the,
wohi log to bewafa huye.

yeh kayamatein bhi ajeeb hain,
kisi pal bhi mujko sakoon nahi,
woh kayamatein kya haseen thi,
jo kayamatein mujhse jurdi huyi.

jinhein khud pe itna yakeen tha,
jinhein khud pe kya kya gumaan tha,
wohi khud se aise juda huye,
unhein khud bhi apni khabar nahi.

abhi mauj-e-junoon hai thodi si thami huyi,
abhi aag bhi hai kuch sard bujhi huyi,
jo bhadak uthegi yeh phir kahi,
to sakoon na paoge phir kabhi.
