khud se ek wadaa kar loon

socha khud se ek iradaa kar loon,
jo pura kar saku, khud se ek wadaa kar loon,
na rounga ab aur na ashk bhi koi bahaunga,
iss tarah khushi sang koi naata kar loon.

bhula doon ab se woh yaadein purani,
jinhein yaad kar aankh mein sirf aata hai paani,
likhe hue un khato ko bhi mein jalaa doon,
socha khud ko ek aakhiri mein sazaa doon.

ho jaauon khamosh odh kar phir kafan,
na uthuu phir kisi ki bhi aawaaz se main,
hai phir bhi aakhiri aarzoo ek dil mein
ki arthi uthe aur dekh le phir gaur se,

ki keh doon unhein woh alfaaz saare,
ki reh gaye hain kuch saaz mere adhure,
choom loon unhein, phir na rahoon kuch bhi main
ki unke bahon mein aakhiri phir saans loon main.
