kash ek shab koi chand aisa uge
aadatan tu mujhe yun to jis mein dikhe

han agar aks ho wo tera aakhri
dard ka ho ye manzar mera aakhri

us sahar mein khule aankh meri ki jab
yun lage jaise tu hai nahin tha nahin

wo jo lamhe guzar kar gaya tha kabhi
yun lage wo kabhi jaise guzra nahin

par khayalat to phir khayalat hain
kuchh nahin dil se umda ye jazbaat hain

phir ye mumkin kahan gar koi ho mila
sath sansen bhari sath roya hansa

wo jo hissa ho ek zindagi ka meri
ho sabab gham ka ya ho khushi ka meri

jo hua hai wo kaise hua hi nahin
kaise sochun wo dil mein raha hi nahin

wo to tha ab bhi hai aur rahega sada
wo gaya tha hi kab jo ki aae bhala

apne mazi mein jhankun na paun tujhe
ab ye mumkin kahan bhul jaun tujhe

ek pal tha abhi tu yahin tha yahin
aur pal ye hai ek tu kahin bhi nahin

gar nahin tu to yaaden teri kyun rahen
zehn-o-dil par ye baaten teri kyun rahen

kiya kabhi zindagi aisa hoga nahin
wo jo ab hai nahin man lun tha nahin

aisa hoga kabhi ho tasalli kabhi
yahi hona tha likkha hua bhi yahi

jis tarah ek pal mein juda wo hua
main bhi kah dun ki ab jo hua so hua

par yahi ek hunar mujh ko aaya nahin
yaad kar ke ye dil bhul paya nahin

lakht-e-dil ki tarah mujh mein rahta hai wo
qatra-e-khun sa mujh mein bahta hai wo

wo koi shai kahan main jase chhod dun
rabta wo kahan main jise tod dun

mashq hai rang hai lutf hai khas hai
yaad hai yaad to ek ehsas hai

yaad main ab kahan chhod aaun tujhe
ab ye mumkin kahan bhul jaun tujhe
