ankhoon se ashq chupana

ankhoon se ashq chupana kuch aansan hota hai
par sisakte dil ko hansaana mushkil hota hai
char din se dur to saan lena saza hota hai
kaise bataoon, tum bin jeena kaisa hota hai

darwaazon mein rona, bahar hansna hota hai
bhaari mann ka bhoj uthana mushkil hota hai
raah wohi jis_pe yaadon ka pulinda rehta hai
batao tum bin yaad mein jeena kaisa hota hai

jab dekhna har ghadi raah ko dhooka hota hai
har aahat pe dil phir umeed kyon rakhta hai
aas bandhti hai roz teri kuch aisa lagta hai
jab nahin aate tum to jeena bezaar hota hai

kaisi hai tanhai ke chand bhi ruswa rehta hai
khamosh si dadkhanoon mein dil chup rehta ha
ab roz yun tanha sirhane pe sar rakhna hota hai
bheed ho jitani par dil wahan sulagta rehta hai
