Kai Lamhe

tumhein malum hai jab bhi

purane yar

galiyon ki

yunhi be-sud baaton mein

kai ghanTon ki

be-masraf

nashist-e-raegan ko

yaad karte hain

to kitna lutf aata hai

purane ghar mein guzre pal

aur un mein

sab kahi aur an-kahi

baaton ko jab dohraya jata hai

to kitna lutf aata hai

tumhein malum hai jab is tarah ke

an-ginat lamhe

jinhen hum yaad karte hain

jinhen hum DhunDte hain

zindagi ki har udasi mein

muqayyad hain ghaDi ke ain markaz mein

rawan in suiyon ki

be-sila be-kar harakat mein

tumhein malum hai jab bhi mujhe in ki zarurat thi

to main ne waqt se

in aaKHiri ayyam mein itni guzarish ki

mujhe de do wo sab lamhe

ki ab in ki zarurat hai

to wo mujh se yahi kahta

kai lamhe

kalaiyon par bandhi ghaDiyon se bahar hain

unhen main kaise wapas dun

unhen main kaise lauTa dun
