gai ho jab se
main ek kamre mein band sa hun

tumhaari yaaden
mere khayalon mein

jugnuon ki qatar ban kar chamak rahi hain
tumhaari zulfen

mere tasawwur ki wadiyon mein mahak rahi hain
wo baal

chahat ki sa'aton mein
tumhaare sar se jo gir gae the

unhen main chun kar
badi mohabbat se sunghta hun

tumhaare kurte se tut kar jo
safed moti bikhar gae the

unhen main chun kar
badi 'aqidat se chumta hun

wo mera kamra
tumhaare aane se

jo chaman mein badal gaya tha
hazaron rangon ke phul khilne lage the jis mein

tumhaare jaane se
phir se viran ho gaya hai

wo dil
jo dhadka tha tum se mil ke

wo phir se be-jaan ho gaya hai
na ab kitabon mein sha'iri hai

na ab sharabon mein be-khudi hai
na ab gulabon mein tazgi hai

tamam gamle
tamam paude

meri tarah se ujad chuke hain
har ek shai pe khizan ka mausam ruka hua hai

mere labon pe
tumhaare boson ki jo nami thi

wo khushk hone lagi hai jaanan
meri nazar mein

tumhaari aankhon ka jo nasha tha
wo khatm hone laga hai jaanan

meri zaban pe
tumhaare ashkon ka jo namak tha

wo paniyon mein badal raha hai
tumhaari banhon ka

meri banhon mein
lams tha jo

wo sardiyon mein badal raha hai
tum aa bhi jao

ki dil ko phir se
qarar aae

surur aae
khumar aae

ki zindagi mein bahaar aae
