Kuch dard aaise bhi…

thahar gaya tha koi waQt ki nishani ban ke
wo bhi beh gaya aaj aakhooN ka pani ban ke

ek umar se sambhala tha humne jo dariya
baha le gaya woh use ek raat tufaani ban ke

ajab kasmokash se guzar chuki yeh zindagi
ab reh gai haiN sirf ek dard-e-kahani ban ke

naa rahi koi khawahish ab is dil meiN bas
jeye ja rahe haiN bemohabbat jawani ban ke

kab talak jee sakoge yuh tanhaa OMi, jane
kab chale aaye maut ek shaam virani ban ke
