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

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

Raat bhar yaadein hain, neend ka naam nahi,
Khamoshi mein bhi tumhari baatein sunayi deti hain.

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

Kismat ne jo likha tha, wahi mila mujhe,
Mehnat karta raha — mukaddar ne saath na diya.
