khud ko hi bhoolna chahta hoon

aa dekh tere binaa main kitana tanha hoon,
kuch hairaan bhi ke ab tak kaise zinda hoon

na aayi koi bhi khabaar mujhe tere aane ki
phir bhi main tere inteezaar mein rehta hoon

lamhein gaye, din beete, guzare saal-dar-saal
par har dhadkan mein, tujhe sochta rehta hoon

kahan par woh din kate, kahan beete woh saal
tere bina main bas ghadiyaan gin.ta rehta hoon

jahan dekhoon bas dikhti hai wohi soorat teri
yaad aur aati hai, jitana bhoolana chahta hoon

kuch tu bhi kar koshish ki na aaye yaad mujhe
ki 'Kapil' main khud ko hi bhoolna chahta hoon
