aayi dard ki barat thi

aayi dard ki barat thi
yeh unki meri baat thi
khati meeti mulakat thi
yeh ajeeb saugaat thi

yeh hawa garaj rahi thi
ghatayein baras rahi thi
saath chandani bhi thi
woh chand wali raat thi

aaj aag sulag ragi thi
ab do diloon ki baat thi
kahin madhoshi chupi thi
madhosh dhadkanen bhi thi

aaj kano-kano ki baat thi
yeh sun rahi hawa bhi thi
ab khamosh yeh fiza thi
kuch dil ki fariyaad thi

yeh zindagi bhi ravan thi
kuch unki talabgaar thi
bas do paloon ki zindagi
phir milne ko betaab thi
