sirf teri yaad aa rahi thi!

woh maagh ki ek raat thi,
chandni apne chaand ke saath thi,

kuhra kuch tarah chaa raha tha,
ke kchitij ko main apne aur nazdeek paa raha tha,

chai ke pyale se uthta dhunaa bhi,
us badhti huii sardi ka ehsaas kara raha tha,

kapkapate badhte kadmo ko fir bhi ye ehsaas hai,
ke aane waali manzil liye ek garmi ka ehsaas hai,

baglon mein dabe hue haath yoon machal rahe the,
jaise hum unhe pahli baar choone ko chal rahe the,

aankhon se tapakti wo boondein
hoothon ko mom ki tarah pighla rahi thi,

halki si chalti hawa meri gardan se hokar
meri rooh tak jaa rahi thi,

fir bhi har lamha har pal har uthte kadam ke saath
mujhe sirf teri yaad aa rahi thi,

sirf teri yaad aa rahi thi!
