Tum jab talak thi, ajnabi mere liye,
Tumhare jalwe, meri nazron ke gamgusar na the,
Tumhari chaah tak, na jati thi dil ki rah koi,
Tumhare khwab, meri raton ke gunahgar na the.
Waqt ke saath, phir azeeb ek baat hui,
Tum mujhe, kucch apni si lagne lagi,
Tumhari arzoo, koi narm dhimi aanch jaise,
Meri samosahar, jal na payeen, jhulasne lagin.
Mujhe yun lag raha tha, kya hansi fareb tha wo,
Main bhi kucch, tumhare kareeb ho chala hoon,
Phasla thoda hai, khusiyon ke ek khajane se,
Kya hua gar, thode dinon ko gareeb ho chala hoon.
Koi junoon liye, phir wo bojhil shaam aayee,
Nazar ne, kampte haathon se tumhe jaam diya,
Tumhari berukhi ne, jaam kucch aisha ucchala,
Gir hi jata, magar gam ne lapakkar thaam liya.
Gir na paya to kya, tootna tha use, toot gaya,
Najuk tha shishe sa, jalalat ka jhatka gahra tha,
Sun na paya tha wo, awaaj tootne ki magar,
Ya to patthar tha, ya phir husn tera bahra tha.
Toote dil ki tarah, maine use sambhala tha,
Sochta rah gaya, tukdon ko kalege pe liye,
Ek arse se tum, mere liye hamjoli ho,
Aur main, aajtak hoon ajnabi tumhare liye
