Usay uddna pasand tha, Mujhe bandhe rehne ki aadat thi.. Ghum ne usay kabhi na chhua tha, Aur mere paas zakhmon ki saugaat thi.. Usay chaand dekhna pasand tha, Mujhe toot-te taaron par yakeen tha.. Uski zindagi mein sach ka darwaaza bandh tha, Aur main jaanti thi ki taqdeer se laddna befizool tha.. Uski Khushi mere saath thi, Par sukoon uske sheher se tha... Mere pairon mein bediyaan thi, Aur usko mere saath uddna tha...

Main akele baith unke saamne, Bas muskuraati rahi, Baatein kar rahi thhi uski, aur apne dard ki,  Phir bhi bas hansti hansaati rahi... Zubaan ladkhadda rahi thhi, Aur har zarra cheekh raha thha, Phir bhi wahin baith main, Khud ka tamaasha bhi banaati rahi... Jab bhi nazar utha ke dekha, Nazar ussi se jaa mili,  Jab bhi nazar pherna chaaha, Ek ummeed si kyun jaag uthi, Phir raaton ko meri usne apne naam kiya, Aur phir dekh mujhe katl-e-aam kiya, Kyun aage badh thaama nahin, Na aage b
