Akelapan

Hum zindagi bhar akelepan ko rote rahe
Humne kab kisi ko apne qareeb aane diya

Jaam, bahaar, ranj, khumar aur khushbu
Uske hawale se humne sab ko aane diya

Mumkin tha baat kar ke sulah kar lete magar
Humne chup reh kar khud par zawaal aane diya

Ek shaam yun he baat nikal aayi thi uski kahin
Humne bhi pursey mein neend ko na aane diya

Mehfil shaad thi yaaro ki qamyabi ke qisso se
Jaane us mehfil mein hume kisne aane diya
