Tanha Raatein

Sannata hai kamre mein aur shor hai dil ke andar, Teri yaadon ka pehra hai ab is toote hue ghar par. Koi aawaz nahi sunta is be-zuban dard ki, Jaise chupchap jal raha ho koi diya samundar par.

Jin raahon pe kabhi hum dono chala karte the, Aaj unhi raste pe hum akele raha karte hain. Waqt ne kuch aisi karvat li hai yaaro, Ki ab apne hi saaye se hum darte hain.

Tere jaane ke baad dil ka ye haal hua hai, Har ek muskurahat pe bas ab aansoo ka sawaal hua hai. Kise batayein dard is dil ka hum, Mera apna saya bhi ab mujhse behaal hua hai.

Har subah ek naye dard ki shuruwat hoti hai, tumse milne ki wo purani baat hoti hai. Hum aaj bhi baithe hain usi mod par, jahan kabhi hamari tumse mulakat hoti thi.
