Ham sochte rahe hamare aaftab tulu hoga,
Ham bhool gaye woh bhi ek din tha jo guzar gaya.
Jab daman se hi uski saaya chale gaya,
Hum sochte rahe yeh dhoop ka khel hain,
Hum raat ko aatish jalakr baythe the,
Har bar hawa ke jhoke ne use bhuja diya,
hum sochte rahe yeh hawa ka khel hain.
Log jab puchte the uske haal mein achcha hi jawab deta tha…
Is nadaan dil ko uski kaarsazein pata hi nah tha,
Itna rutha koi apna ke aaj khud se ruthe baite hain...
