main tere paas aaj rang sabhi chodd aaya

saamaan samet main kuch apna chodd aaya
main tere paas aaj rang sabhi chodd aaya

rasta lamba safar mushil, boojh bhaari ki
saath apne bas yeh gum-e-shyahi utha laya

kahan gira, kisse mila, kya maloom mujhe,
par jaanta hoon, peeche zindagi chod aaya

kuch beraag si lagti yeh zindagi mujhe ki
main tere paas aaj rang sabhi chodd aaya


be-sabrr guzari hai, har raat tere begair
aur main chasm jala-jala khud hi jal aaya

bebas aalam hai apna bhi ab kuch yun dekho
ki main ankhoon ankhoon main raat kaat aaya

na tu aaya, na aayi teri koi khabar mujhko
aur main tanha hi yeh zindagi guzar aaya

aur kitana rang paate rangrez dost mujhe ki
jab main tere paas rang sabhi chodd aaya



guzare din, mahine, saal-dar-saal tere begair
ab tanhai ka aalam aur mann tanha bheeg aaya

raste chale, manzilen chuti, kuch mil na saki
har guzare makaan mein kuch-na-kuch bhool aaya

chand lamhein mile jo zindagi se udhaar mujhko
unhe bhi main teri chaukhat pe sambhaal laaya

sahej rakhta hoon woh saath ke pal, woh rang
ki main tere paas abaaki sab rang chodd aaya
