Aaj kuch logo ko khud pe haste hua paaya,
Kuch ko pagal to kuch ko mujhe deewana kahte hue paaya,
Sun ke un ke baat mai kuch seham sa gaya,
Andar na jaane kaisa ek dar sa maine paaya,
Dheemi se ek awaaj kaano mai yun padi,
Ek insaan ka iss se bura haal kabhi nahi paaya,
Kabhi jo rehta tha hamesha madmast apne mai,
Us insaan ko pyar ke jehar se marte hua paaya,
Koi kuch keh raha tha to koi kuch bata raha tha,
Kuch baato ko suni to kuch ko unsuni hui paaya,
Na jaane kyo cha ke bhi mai jawab nahi de pa raha tha,
Saayad khud ko maine bahut unsuljhe sawalo mai ghire hue paaya,
Fir koi keh raha tha ki iss ke kisi apne ko to bulao,
Juba pe sab ki fir kisi bewafa ka naam maine paaya,
Jitne muh the uthe hi sawal un ki jubaan pe the,
Lakin nazron ko apni maine kisi ka intzaar karte hue paaya,
Fir ek sard lehar jaisa ahsaas mujhe mehsoos hua,
Baadal ko fir maine sab jakhmo or dard se aazad paaya,
Aankhe khuli thi lakin koi ahsaas aab baaki na tha,
Sab ki nazron ko bas us insaan pe hi tike hue paaya,
Chehre sab ke mayusi se bhare hue the,
Ek bewafa ko lakin maine fir bhi haste hue paaya,
Ek bewafa ko lakin maine fir bhi haste hue paaya...........
Baadal
