Jab bhi kabhi akele hui to tum mera khayal bane,
Kayi sawalo ke jawab bane to kayi naye sawal bane!
Shayad mai ab tumhe bhool chuki hoon,
Shayad ab mai fir se zindagi jeene lagi hoon!
Kayi baar dil yuhi udaas ho jata hai,
Tumhari ek awaz sunne ko taras jaata hai!
Mujhe malum hai ki ab rasten alag hai,
Na mai 'mai' hoon, na tum 'tum' ho, na pyar 'pyar' hai!
Fir bhi kabhi kabhi tum sapno mai bhi aate ho,
Raat bhar paas baith ke subah chale jaate ho!
Pata hai aajkal mai kam likhti hoon,
Likhne ki wajah ko khojti hoon!
Tumse milne ke baad ab darne lagi hoon mai,
Shayad 'ishq' naam se nafrat karne lagi hoon mai!
Tumne mujhe 'ishq' karna sikhaya,
Aur ab tumhari iss tanhaye na uss 'ishq' se nafrat karna sikhaya!
Nahi mai naraz nahi hoon,
Shayad uss samay se nikli nahi hoon!
Nahi mai shikayat nahi kar rahi,
Par ab fir se mohabbat bhi nahi kar rahi!
Pata hai dimag aur dil mai ek gambir si jung hai,
Dil tumhara hai aur dimag mera bass yahi mushkil hai!
Dekho iski daga dhadakta yaha hai par dhadkan tumhari hai,
Saans hum lete hai par har saans tumhari hai!
Kabhi kabhi hum sochte hai ki tum sochte hoge ki aisa kya tha jo hum tumhe bhula nahi paaye,
Kyon mare hue pyar ko kavitao mai zinda rakhte aaye!
Baat bass itni si hai,
Tum maar sakte ho ishq ko par uss wajah ko nahi,
Tum maar sakte ho insaan ko par kissi ki kavita ko nahi,
Jab jab likhungi jikr sirf tera hoga,
Meri mohabbat aur tere daga ka hoga.
