Ye Pichhle Ishq Ki Baaten Hain

ye pichhle ishq ki baaten hain

jab aankh mein KHwab damakte the

jab dilon mein dagh chamakte the

jab palken shahr ke raston mein

ashkon ka nur luTati thin

jab sansen ujle chehron ki

tan man mein phul sajati thin

jab chand ki rim-jhim kirnon se

sochon mein bhanwar paD jate the

jab ek talatum rahta tha

apne be-ant KHayalon mein

har ahd nibhane ki qasmen

KHat KHun se likhne ki rasmen

jab aam thin hum dil walon mein

ab apne phike honTon par

kuchh jalte bujhte lafzon ke

yaqut pighalte rahte hain

ab apni gum-sum aankhon mein

kuchh dhul hai bikhri yaadon ki

kuchh gard-alud se mausam hain

ab dhup ugalti sochon mein

kuchh paiman jalte rahte hain

ab apne viran aangan mein

jitni subhon ki chandi hai

jitni shamon ka sona hai

us ko KHakistar hona hai

ab ye baaten rahne dije

jis umr mein qisse bante the

us umr ka gham sahne dije

ab apni ujDi aankhon mein

jitni raushan si raaten hain

us umr ki sab saughaten hain

jis umr ke KHwab KHayal hue

wo pichhli umr thi bit gai

wo umr bitae sal hue

ab apni did ke raste mein

kuchh rang hai guzre lamhon ka

kuchh ashkon ki baraaten hain

kuchh bhule-bisre chehre hain

kuchh yaadon ki barsaten hain

ye pichhle ishq ki baaten hain
