utha jab subah to muskura raha tha
khayal bas mujhe unhi ka aa raha tha
socha aaj unse mulakat ho jayegi
aur kuch nahi to thodi baat ho paayegi
ab us mulakat ka intezaar nahi hota
yun bekaraar na hote agar pyaar na hota
ye dhadkan jo meri ab badne lagi hai
kahin tham na jaaye wo darne lagi hai
bhule hain khudko kya pata kya thikaana
ab kehlo tum aashik ya kehlo deewana
intezaar hai unka bas ke deedar ho jaaye
kuch unki sunein hum kuch apni batayein
kuch hi palon mein ab unse milenge
patjhad mein bhi har su gul wo khilenge
lo ho gayi hai shaam aur wo waqt aa gaya hai
unke suroor ka nasha chaa gaya hai
nikalte hain ab unse na intezaar hoga
dil unka bhi yun hi bekraar hoga
yahi sochkar unse milne nikalte hain
ab waqt hua hai chalo chalte hain..
