Intezar mein saal guzar gaye, tum nahi aaye,
Darwaza ab bhi khula hai — shayad kabhi tum aao.

Dhoka kha kar bhi maine dhoka nahi diya,
Tumne apni qeemat khud girayi — meri wafa ab bhi wahi hai.

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

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

Gir kar utha hoon, ab sambhalna seekh liya hai,
Toota tha kabhi — ab khud ko jodna seekh liya hai.
