Logon ne socha tod denge mujhe
yun saath dekar tanha chod denge mujhe
na tha ehsaas unko iss baat ka ki
aasaa nae tha yun mujhko rulana
mere dukh mein khud muskurana.
dard to hua tha dil mein bahut
par jhuki thi na ruki thi mein
aaj bhi yun jee rae hun tanha
jaise kabhie tujhse na mile the mein.
hanse hai aaj bhi mere hoton par
chamak hai aaj bhi meri aankhon mein
jee sakte hun yun hee akele mein
na kisse ki yaad hai na kissi ki jarurat.
