...kyon hai

saath hokar mujhse dur kyon hai
yeh bata teri aisi marzi kyon hai

bahut dhoonda tujhko maine ae dil
tu bata mujhse aaj khafa kyon hai

hai nayi shab ki chaanv to dekh
phir taroon se dushmani kyon hai

wohi chilman wohi chandani hai
par beech parda-naqaabi kyon hai

tere dar pe hoon main aaj phir se
par har shah mein berukhi kyon hai

kuch baaki thi umeed par woh bhi
aaj mere se itani dur kyon hai

main khada hoon vahin ka vahin
tu dekh mujhse itna dur kyon hai

bewajah ki hai yeh nukta-cheeni
aur ankhoon mein ashq kyon hai

na main reh saka na tu reh saka
phir darmiyan yeh fansala kyon hai

Kapil bhatak raha sahera-sahera
par dil mein wohi bashinda kyon hai
