abba tum mujh ko yaad aate ho
tum mujhe har ghadi rulate ho

tum gae ho akela kar ke mujhe
kar diya zinda tum ne mar ke mujhe

banhon wali wo khatiya khali hai
raat kya zindagi hi kali hai

zindagi khali khali lagti hai
bas yahi soch dil mein palti hai

sirf tanhai dekhta hun ab
jaane kya kya main sochta hun ab

kaun ab hausla badhaega
kaun ab pith thapthapa-e-ga

kaun ab sar pe hath rakkhega
mere bare mein kaun sochega

kaun dega dilasa duniya mein
ab rahunga main pyasa duniya mein

kaun dantega ghalati karne par
kaun tokega ab mujhe yaro

bin tumhaare to suna sab ghar hai
dil mein har waqt ek naya dar hai

kaun bolega khana kha beta
kaun puchhega tu kahan par hai

kaun ab pyar se pukarega
kaun ab zindagi sanwarega

kis ke nazdik ab main baithunga
dil ki baaten main kis se bolunga

tum se har baat main share karta
tum the to main kabhi nahin darta

ab main kaise rahun be-khauf-o-khatar
samne lakhon dukh khade hain satar

bas yahi fikr kha rahi hai mujhe
aap ki yaad aa rahi hai mujhe

zindagi kis qadar akeli hai
koi uljhi hui paheli hai

tum ne ye zindagani di hai mujhe
koi apni kahani di hai mujhe

har kahani ko khatm hona hai
zindagani ko khatm hona hai

han magar is se pahle kya hoga
sochta hun ki jaane kya hoga

koi apna na tha tumhaare siwa
mere dukh dard ki tumhin the dawa

jab mujhe koi gham satata tha
tum ko har baat main batata tha

tum mujhe pyar se bithate the
aur dhire se muskuraate the

phir main har gham ko bhul jata tha
aur phir main bhi muskuraata tha

abba ab mein akela kaise jiyun
itne dukh dard gham main kaise sahun

meri himmat the hausla the tum
zinda rahne ka aasra the tum

meri himmat bhi hausla bhi gaya
zinda rahne ka aasra bhi gaya

ab faqat aah-o-zari hai dil mein
ek nai jang jari hai dil mein

dhadkanen tham ke ab dhadakti hain
sansen har waqt ab phadakti hain

aap ke chehre ki ziyarat ho
phir mujhe aankhon se mohabbat ho

aap ka chehra kho gaya hai kahan
dhundhla dhundhla hua hai mera jahan

tum ne is pyar se nawaza tha
pyar wo koi de nahin sakta

tum ne man ki kami na hone di
zindagi mein nami na hone di

ham-nafas tum the tum hi dil-bar the
ham-safar tum the tum hi rahbar the

kaun ab sidhi rah dikhaega
kaun ab raste banaega

kaun ab pyar se khilaega
kaun aaghosh mein sulaega

ab mera hath kaun thamega
kaun ab mera bojh uthaega

jab se duniya se tum gae abba
mere sukh chain kho gae abba

tanha tanha hun be-sahaara hun
koi bujhta hua sitara hun

mujh pe gham ka pahad tuta hai
aap ka sath jab se chhuta hai

beach dariya mein chhod di kashti
itni jaldi batao kyon kar di

ye bhi socha nahin ki kya hoga
aap ka beta dubta hoga

is ko ab kaun par laega
ab wo dariya mein ghote khaega

na-khuda tum the tum masiha the
tum hi manjhi the tum hi nayya the

baat ek aur hai jo karni hai
zindagi is tarah guzarni hai

jaise pani bina koi machhli
khub tadpi bahut bahut phadki

aur tadapte hue phadakte hue
bas yahi kah gai wo marte hue

bin sahaare koi nahin jita
chahe wo sher ho ya ho chita

mera har ek sahaara kho hi gaya
phut kar aaj main bhi ro hi gaya

pahle ammi gain ab abba gae
hae ab main yatim ho hi gaya
