Tere Baad

Raat chup hai,

dil bhi khamosh hai,

Teri yaadon ka

bas ek hosh hai...

Tu nahi

hai mere paas magar,

Har jagah tera

hi ehsaas hai... Humne jo khwab sajaye the kabhi,

Aaj woh aankhon mein toot-te hain,

Jin raaston pe saath chale the hum,

Aaj woh raaste mujhse rooth-te hain...

Teri tasveer se baatein karta hoon,

Khud se hi tera

naam leta hoon,

Tu toh keh ke gayi thi "bhool jaana",

Main har din tujhe aur yaad karta hoon...

Kya kami thi meri mohabbat mein,

Jo tu

mujhse door chali gayi?

Main toh tera hi rehna chahta tha,

Tu meri

kyun na ho saki?

Tere baad... main main nahi raha,

Hans raha hoon magar

dil nahi

raha... Tu gayi toh sab kuch

saath le gayi,

Mere andar ab kuch bhi

nahi raha... Tere baad...

raat dhalti nahi, Aankhon se yeh baarish rukti nahi,

Log kehte hain waqt sab bhula deta hai,

Meri duniya mein woh subah hoti nahi...

Teri galiyon se guzarta

hoon kabhi, Dil ko lagta hai tu mil jayegi,

Phir hawa chupke se keh deti hai,

"Jisey dhoondh rahe ho,

woh nahi aayegi..." Tere diye hue woh khat mere paas hain,

Kuch adhure se vaade bhi khaas hain,

Maine sambhal ke rakha hai sab kuch,

Bas tu

nahi... aur tere ehsaas hain...

Agar kabhi tujhe meri yaad aaye,

Toh pal bhar ko aankhein band karna,

Main wahi milunga tujhe khamoshi mein,

Jahan tune mujhe chhoda tha...

Aur agar kisi din pooche koi,

"Mohabbat kya hoti hai?"

Bas mera naam le dena...

Aur kehna—

"Ek shakhs tha... jo haar kar bhi

mujhse mohabbat karta raha." Tere baad...

main main nahi

raha,

Mere dil mein koi rang

nahi

raha, Tu khush rahe,

bas itni dua hai meri,

Chahe meri zindagi mein kuch nahi

raha... Tere baad... sab kuch badal gaya,

Mera apna hi dil mujhse jal gaya...

Tu kisi aur ki duniya ban gayi,

Aur mera ishq... Bas ek kahani ban gaya...

Raat chup hai... Dil bhi khamosh hai...

Tu

nahi hai... Phir bhi tera hi ehsaas hai...
