Tanha

woh bhi kya din the


jab hum ghanton baaten kiya karte the

aur ek aaj hai ke pal bhar ki bhi fursat nahi



milon door se bhi khayalon me sirf tum thi

aur ek aaj hai ke saamne hote hue bhi kitni door ho



aankhen jab khulti to usme sirf tum hoti

aankhen jab band hui tab bhi sirf tum

aur ek aaj hai ke khuli aankhon se bhi nazar nahi aati



jab me khush hota to tum yaad aati

jab koi dukh hota tab bhi tum hi to thi

aaj bahut hai badla sa

kahin nahi hai tumhara ehsaas



ek ajeeb si muskaan aati thi tumhari aahat se

ek ajeeb sa khalipan tha tum jab nahi hoti

aaj to tum paas hote hue bhi kahin nahi ho



ek daur tha woh jab hum kitne kareeb the

woh ek zamana tha jab tum hi to thi

aur ek aaj hai ke woh sab sirf dhuaan sa hai



lafson me nahi bayaan ki jaati

is rishey ki jadugari

yeh sach to tha, hum kitne khush the tab

aur ek aaj hai ke zinda hote hue bhi nahi hai



masroof zindagi me jakde hu se hai

jo sahi hai usi ka khayal hai

kaun kambakht ab dil ki sunta hai

log kya kahenge yahi sawaal hai
