kya bataen us ke bin kaise zindagi kar li
dhadkanen to zinda hain dil ne khud-kushi kar li

main use samajhne ke marhalon mein uljha tha
us ne jaane chupke se kaise dosti kar li

doston main andha hun ye khushi bhi kam hai kya
us ne meri aankhon se ghar mein raushni kar li

nind mangte phirne mein ana ka sauda tha
is ana mein khwabon se hum ne dushmani kar li

zoam aur ana ka hum aur kya gala ghoten
us ka har kaha mana baat jo kahi kar li

us ke chhod jaane par kuchh na kuchh to karna tha
kuchh na kar sake aakhir hum ne shairi kar li
