Yaaden dhundli pad jaati hai...

chutta hai jab koi to bas...
ek kasak baki rah jati hai
toote huye umeedon ki bas...
rakh dil me bas jati hai

jab bhi khayal unka aata hai
toh dhundli hui yaaden samne aa jaati hai,
milta to kuch bhi nahi siwaye aansuon ke
nafrat se bhara dil hota hai aur...
aankhen nam reh jaati hai

jab bhi unka chehra samne aata hai,
iss dil se bas aah nikal kar reh jaati hai
jab wo aage badh hi chuke hai toh...
kyu hume ab bhi apni baaton me uljhate hai,

dil bahlane ka ek saaman hai hum unke liye
issi soch me tutta hai dil phir se aur... 
phir se yaaden dhundli pad jaati hai
