ek tum itna lazmi kyon ho
phir mayassar kabhi kabhi kyon ho

jis ko jaana hai wo chala jae
kah ke phir mujh ko rokti kyon ho

ye mere hijr ki kahani hai
tum ise sun ke ro rahi kyon ho

tum bhi ho kya charagh muflis ka
sham hote hi bujh gai kyon ho

jab na pahunche tumhaare dil tak ye
sha'iri kya ho sha'iri kyon ho

di gai hai hamein saza mein phir
itni aasan zindagi kyon ho

dip raushan hain us ki yaadon ke
mere kamre mein tirgi kyon ho

sath tum ho to waqt achchha hai
ab mere hath mein ghadi kyon ho
