Main dheere-dheere khud se hi haar chuka hoon,dil ko sirf tera hi intezaar hai.Hmm… raat thamee si hai, Jaise waqt bhi mere dard se thak chuka ho… Saansein chal rahi hain, Par jeene ka koi sabb baaki hi nahi raha… Shehar so raha hai, par meri aankhon ko neend aati hi nahi,Khamoshi itni gehri hai ke teri awaaz mere jahain se jaati nahi Tu paas nahi hai, phir bhi har jagah tu hi tu. is khaali kamre mein bhi bas teri hi maujoodgi mehsoos hoti hai . Main khidki se bahar dekhta hoon, chaand bhi udaas lagta hai, Jaise use bhi pata ho ke mera dil aaj bhi Tere pass hai. Main khud se poochta hoon, galti meri thi ya waqt ka kasoor, Par har sawaal ka jawaab aakhir mein bas tera naam hi hota hai . Sach kahun toh tere bina main aadha bhi nahi raha, Jo tha main pehle, aaj uska sirf ek saaya sa bacha hua. Main hansta hoon logon ke liye, par wo hansi jhooti hoti hai, Raat hote hi meri sachchi kahani shuru hoti hai. Teri yaadon ka bojh roz thoda aur bhaari ho jaata hai, Aur ye dil har din thoda aur kamzor hota jaata hai. Main tujhe bhoolne nikla tha ek din himmat karke, Par har raaste pe bas tu hi mili, meri saari koshish tod kar. Tune jeena sikhaya tha mujhe, Aur phir bina kuch kahe chali gayi… Main aaj bhi wahin khada hoon, Jahan tune kaha tha “khayal rakhna”, aur phir mujhe door ho gayi… Tu nahi hai… par mera sab kuch tu hi hai, Meri har khamoshi, har aansu mein bas tu hi hai. Main raat bhar jaag kar teri baatein yaad karta hoon, Wo chhoti chhoti baatein… jinmein main poori duniya bhool jaata hoon. Tera “theek ho?” poochna bhi ab ek sapna lagta hai, Aur tera naam lena bhi ab dil ko chubhne lagta hai. Kabhi lagta hai tu aa jaayegi achanak darwaze pe, Aur main saare shikwe bhool kar tujhe gale laga lunga. Phir achanak yaad aata hai ke tu ab meri kismat mein nahi, Aur main phir se chup-chaap toot kar bikhar jaata hoon. Kya tu bhi kabhi meri tarah raat ko jaagti hogi? Kya tujhe bhi meri kami itni hi mehsoos hoti hogi? Ya phir main hi akela hoon jo ab tak wahin ruk gaya, Aur tu waqt ke saath mujhe chhod kar aage badh gayi… Agar milna likha hi nahi tha, toh pyaar kyun hua? Agar bichhadna hi tha, toh dil itna majboor kyun hua? Main aaj bhi usi mod pe tera intezaar karta hoon, Jahan tune kaha tha “main laut aaungi”, aur main maanta raha hu. Raat thamee si hai… Aur main bhi kahin beech mein atak gaya hoon… Tu aage nikal gayi… Aur tu… bas meri yaadon mein hi reh gayi hai. sirf yadon mein rah gai hai . bus yadon mein rah gayi hai...
