kal tak jo intizar tha wo bhi nahin raha
ek hi to mera yar tha wo bhi nahin raha

thoda bahut jo pyar tha wo bhi nahin raha
ek shakhs be-qarar tha wo bhi nahin raha

jine ki ek umid thi wo bhi nahin rahi
jis dard se qarar tha wo bhi nahin raha

aisi chali hawaen ki sab kuchh bikhar gaya
ek ped saya-dar tha wo bhi nahin raha

afsane ki siyahi se sab kuchh badal diya
khwabon pe ikhtiyar tha wo bhi nahin raha

jo mausamon ki tarah badalta tha rangaten
aur aamad-e-bahaar tha wo bhi nahin raha

hota tha apne beach mohabbat ka len-den
barakat ka karobar tha wo bhi nahin raha

pyasi bahut thi hasraten lo aaj mar gain
barish ka intizar tha wo bhi nahin raha

'arman' wo khayal meri jaedad tha
is fikr mein nikhaar tha wo bhi nahin raha
