main apni qimti chizen bhi aksar bhul jati hun
kahin bhi ja ke thahrun main

kisi ke pas bhi jaun
kabhi terrace kabhi aangan kabhi kamre mein bhi aksar

kuchh apni pichhli yaadon ko kabhi kuchh chand raaton ko
aur aksar adh-bune se kuchh adhure khwab ke guchchhe

wahin par chhod aati hun
main aksar bhul jati hun

wo jo main aakhiri mausam mein tum se milne aai thi
to kuchh tare chameli ki bahut thodi si wo khushbu

mohabbat ke sunahri narm resham se bane be-sakhta jumle
yahin par rah gae mere

yahan diwar par main ne chamakta chand chhoda tha
hansi ke motiyon ki ek mala thi jo tum ne gift mein di thi

yahin par rah gai wo bhi
main thahrungi nahin mujh ko bas apni qimti chizen hi leni hain

tumhein zahmat bahut hogi magar ye sab mujhe de do
tumhaare pas to duniya ke ab sare khazane hain

main khali hath baithi hun yahi mera asasa hai
