Ummeed

Tere jaane ke baad, teri yaad ke daaman se lipat ke ro lete hain,

Jab dil takleef dene lage, toh usi daaman ko odh kar so lete hain.

Tere waapis aane ki ummeed mein zinda hain hum abhi,

Tujhse bichhadhne wale, maut ke aagosh mein khud ko kho lete hain.

Teri kisi ummeed pe, hum khare na utar sake,

Tere jaane ke gham mein, na jee sake, na mar sake.

Tujhe jitni jaldi paaya tha, utni jald kho bhi diya,

Aur issi udhedh bun mein ek vaada bhi poora na kar sake.

Ab aalam yeh hai ki din mein bechaini hai aur raat mein ghamon ka sahara hai,

Jitna pasand kal tha, tera saath aaj bhi utna hi pyaara hai.

Teri raahon mein aaj bhi diya leke khade hain hum,

Kyunki, waapsi ki raahon mein andhera bahut saara hai.

Aaj bhi bharosa hai, shayad tu laut ke aayegi,

Aur dil ki khaali jagah, shayad phir se bhar jaayegi.

Darkhwast hai ki ab aane mein aur der na karna,

Warna yeh kaali andheri raat phir rote rote kat jaayegi...
