Tumhare jane ke baad mujhe ehsaas huya
Tum toh kaavi paas thei hi nehi ,
Aine ki tarah baas ek parichay mili thi ,
Jo huba hu tumsa dikh ta hai ,
Meri yaadon mein tum thei ,
Meri baaton mein tum thei ,
Meri saason mein tum thei ,
Baas bahon mein kabhi na aa sake -
Ab khwahishen bhi nehi rahi ,
Wo panne yun mudh sa gaya hai ,
Khuda kare bhul jau saab kuch ,
Wo din - jo kavi dil behlate thei !
