shayad mere zakhmon ko kavitaon mein badalna tha

jo hona hi tha mujhse juda,
to itna pyaar hi na karna tha,

waade karke sath jeene marne ka,
bass kuch hi door chalna tha?

banaya tha tujhko khuda apna,
aur tune hi mujhse ki dagaa,

humare pyaar ke suraj ko jaanam,
itni jalld to na dhalna tha?

door hi rahte tum mujhse,
meri zindagi mein aaye hi kyon,

hote tum gair to yaadon mein tumhari,
yeh masoom dil to na jalna tha,

tere diye zakhamon ki daastaan,
kisi ko sunata bhi to kaise...

shayad iss gareeb ke zakhmon ko,
kavitaon ke lafzon mein badalna tha.
