Tanhayi ki aadat hai,aur aadat kabhi ye jaati nahi,
vaada karke teri nazar,vada kabhi bhi nibhati nahi,
Hum kahte hai ek baar tu dekh mud kar ,
wo kahte hai halat teri mujhse dekhi jaati nahi,
Pahle tu kabhi kabhi chali aati thi aagosh me,
lekin ab teri yaad bhi daaman mera mahkati nahi,
Khud hi padh kar ro dete the kabhi hum gazal apni,
lekin aankhon me meri ab ye bhi nami laati nahi,
Tanha chood gaye sab hume zindagi ki raah me,
mout bhi dekhiye jara mere kareeb aati nahi
vaada karke teri nazar,vada kabhi bhi nibhati nahi,
Hum kahte hai ek baar tu dekh mud kar ,
wo kahte hai halat teri mujhse dekhi jaati nahi,
Pahle tu kabhi kabhi chali aati thi aagosh me,
lekin ab teri yaad bhi daaman mera mahkati nahi,
Khud hi padh kar ro dete the kabhi hum gazal apni,
lekin aankhon me meri ab ye bhi nami laati nahi,
Tanha chood gaye sab hume zindagi ki raah me,
mout bhi dekhiye jara mere kareeb aati nahi
