na jaane aaj bhi in aankhon ko uski talaash kyun hai

ghum-e-zindagi mein dubo diya jisne hamein,
beech majhdaar mein chhord diya jisne hamein,
na jaane aaj bhi in aankhon ko uski talaash kyun hai?

kyu hai woh shaks aaj bhi pyaar ke kaabil,
kyu hai woh shaks aaj bhi iss dil mein shaamil,
door hote huye bhi mujshe woh aaj bhi mere pass kyu hai?

nahi samjah pata ulfat-e-manzar ko main,
na hosh hai khud ki na khabar hai khud ki,
par phir bhi na jaane dil mein uska ehsaas kyun hai?

bahut mile hain log iss duniya mein mujhe,
bahut apnaye hain rishte iss duniya mein maine,
na jane aaj bhi lagta woh rishta khaas kyun hai?

toot ke gir chukka hoon jaise ek laash ki tarah,
aur shayad ruk si gayi hai dhadkan bhi meri,
par na jaane iss jism mein baaki abhi bhi saans kyun hai?
