kisi ki yaad ka chehra
mere viran ghar ki adh-khuli khidki se

jo mujh ko bulata hai
samay ki aankh se tuta hua tara

jo akasr raat ki palkon ke pichhe jhilmilata hai
use main bhul jaungi

mulaem kasni lamha
kahin bite zamanon se nikal kar muskuraata hai

koi bhula hua naghma
faza mein chupke chupke phail jata hai

bahut din se kisi ummid ka saya
kathin rahon mein mere sath aata hai

use main bhul jaungi
purani diary ki shokh tahriron mein

jo ek nam baqi hai
kisi manzar ki khushbu mein rachi

jo rahat-e-gumnam baqi hai
adhure naqsh ki takmil ka

jitna bhi jo bhi kaam baqi hai
ye jitne did ke lamhe

ye jitni sham baqi hai
use main bhul jaungi

kisi ki yaad ka chehra
use main bhul jaungi

use main bhul jaungi
main akasr sochti to hun

magar wo yaad ka chehra!!
magar wo adh-khuli khidki!!
