Tanha raaton ka yeh safar, khamoshi mein ghul gaya,

Chandni se poochta hoon, tu bhi kyun udaas sa lagta?

Dilon ke darmiyan thi jo baat, hawaon mein kho gayi,

Woh muskurahat, woh baatein, yaadon mein so gayi.

Teri aankhon ka noor tha, jaise subah ka ujala,

Ab har soorat mein dekhta hoon, sirf andhera kala.

Pal pal tera khayal aaye, har lamha tere naam,

Woh lamhe, woh ahde wafaa, ban gaye sirf ek daastaan.

Chup chaap beet jaate hain din, raaten ro leti hain,

Dil ke aangan mein teri yaadein, phir se jhalak dikhlaati hain.

Kya tu bhi yaad karta hai, jaise mein karta hoon tujhe?

Kya tu bhi roya tha kabhi, khud se chhupa ke mujhe?

Magar yeh dil hai ke maanta nahi,

Har dard ko mehsoos karta hai, par haarta nahi.

Ek nayi subah ke intezaar mein,

Phir se jeene ki dua karta hai.

Kya pata kal ho milan ka pal,

Phir se ho saath, chalein ek nayi disha mein.

Umeed ka diya bujha nahi abhi,

Tanha raaton mein bhi roshni chhupi hai kahi.
