aaina ruth gaya hai tere jaane ke baad
ek andhera sa bichha hai tere jaane ke baad

kis qadar tut ke barse hain ye baadal gham ke
aasman chikh utha hai tere jaane ke baad

dil ke tukde hue barsat hui ashkon ki
kya kahun kya kya hua hai tere jaane ke baad

zehn bhi chup hai zaban chup hai nazar bhi chup hai
hum ne bhi kuchh na kaha hai tere jaane ke baad

chikhta khandar hai roti hai haweli dil ki
ghar ye aaseb-zada hai tere jaane ke baad

ghar mein dipak hi jala hai na koi sham-e-wafa
muddaton dil hi jala hai tere jaane ke baad

aisi thokar kabhi khai na thi is se pahle
mujh ko sadma sa laga hai tere jaane ke baad

ye zamana hi nahin khud se bhi 'arpit' mujh ko
kuchh talluq na raha hai tere jaane ke baad
