jab hum pahli bar mile the
mausam kitna ujla tha

main tha ek aazad parinda
nil-gagan mein udne wala

tum bhi itne umr-rasida kab the
baalon mein ye chandi kab thi

lahje mein khanak aankhon mein chamak thi
baat baat par zor se hansna

aadat mein bhi shamil tha
sab ke dukh sukh ka hissa ban jaana

fitrat mein bhi shamil tha
lekin ab aisa lagta hai

tum se bichhadne ka pal
shayad aa pahuncha hai

tum se bichhad kar kal main jab
is mod pe phir wapas aaunga

sare raste sab diwaren aur darwaze
mujh se mere sath ke bare mein puchhenge

ram-narayan aur kedar bhi
phir ye raaz na kholenge

aur meri aankhon mein sara manzar
dhundla dhundla ho jaega

lekin main bite lamhon se
phir us ko ujla kar lunga

aur phir yaad mujhe aaega
jab hum pahli bar mile the

mausam bilkul aisa hi tha
