aaj phir dard hai ehsas hai tanhai hai

aaj phir dard hai ehsas hai tanhai hai
aur aise mein teri yaad chali aai hai
aur ab pyar ko tum koste phirte kyon ho
main na kahta tha mere dost wahan khai hai


phul hain ya ye tere lab hain khile shakhon par
shakh ka kham hai ki jaise teri angdai hai
aisa lagta hai ye virani hai sathi meri
aisa lagta hai ye sannata mera bhai hai


us ki khatir meri dhadkan bhi hui be-qabu
ek ladki jo mere nam pe sharmai hai
teri surat ne bhara rang mere lamhon mein
teri baaton ne meri sham ye mahkai hai


wapsi ka koi rasta nahin milta 'atif'
zindagi jaane ye kis mod mujhe lai hai
