laut aate hai chor kar jane wale bhi agar mohabbat sachhi ho to

                                                   laut aate hai chor kar jane wale bhi
                                            
mohabbat sachhi ho to

Wo yun Gaya k bad e saba yaad aa Gai
Ehsas tak bhi hum ko dila kar nahi Gaya

Yun Lag Raha Hai Jaise Abhi Lout Aaye Ga 
Jate Hua Charagh Bujha Kar Nahi Gaya

Bas eik lakeer khanch gaya darmiyan mein
Diwaar raste mein bana kar nahi Gaya

Shayad wo mil hi jaye magar justujo hai shart
Wo apne nakhs e paa to mita kar nahi Gaya 

Ghar Mein Hai Aaj Bhi Wohi Khushbu Basi Hui 
Lagta Hai Yun K Jaise Wo Aa Kar Nahi Gaya

Tab tak to phool jaisi hi taza thi uski yaad
Jab tak wo pattiyon  ko juda kar nahi gaya 

Rehne Diya Na Us Ne Kisi Kaam Ka Mujhe 
Aur Khak Mein Bhi Mujh Ko Mila Kar Nahi Gaya

Shezad ye gila hi raha uski zaat se
Jate howe wo koi gila kar nahi Gaya
