Tumhara naam likhta hoon phir mita deta hoon,
Kuch mohabbat sirf khali jagah mein rehti hai.

Dost ne peeth peeche baat ki, saamne gale lagaya,
Dushman dikhta hai — dost ka dhoka chhupta hai.

Thak gaya hoon zindagi se, phir bhi chal raha hoon,
Rukna aata nahi — bas chalte rehna aata hai.

Aansoo chup chaap girte hain jab duniya soti hai,
Dard woh raaz hai jo dil chhupata hai.

Aaine se baatein karta hoon, wohi sunta hai,
Khud se baat karke hi dil halka hota hai.
