iss dard aur tanhaai se mera rishta bahut puraana tha

iss dard aur tanhaai se to mera
rishta bahut puraana tha,
par teri berukhi ne mujhko
kahin gehare tak hila diya,

main aksar sochta aye dil
ki bada hausla hai mujhme,
teri meherbani se tufaan kuch aisa utha,
meri saari dariya-dili tak urda diya,

tujhse milne ki tamaam koshishein,
mere ghumon ko aur bardhati rahi,
main til-til tardapta raha yunhi,
aur aahista-aahista tu door jaati rahi,

khone laga kahi mera vishwash bhii,
jo mujhe auron se juda banata tha,
barbaad ho hi gaya teri mohobbat mein,
jo kabhi apne aap par itraata tha.
