Subah ki chai mein, shaam ki hawa mein — har jagah teri kami hai,
Tum nahi ho to har pal aadha sa lagta hai.

Umeed kamzor thi, roshni chhoti ho gayi,
Maine apna behtareen diya, bas yahi tha.

Tumse bichhad kar bhi maine tumhe bura nahi kaha,
Mohabbat thi — isiliye izzat ab bhi wahi hai.

Baarish janti hai jo main keh nahi sakta,
Woh mere liye barasti hai badal wale din.

Sab kuch chhoot gaya, bas yaadein reh gayin saath,
Jab kuch nahi bachta, tab yaadein hi sahara banti hain.
