Bahut kareeb se parkha hai maine logo ko,
Jahan dil lagaya, wahi khoya maine khud ko.
Jinse apna kaha, woh apne na rahe,
Jo saath nibhaane aaye the, raaste mein hi chhute rahe.

Sapno ke shehar mein sach ka ujala tha,
Par har chehra yahan ek naya naqaab sa tha.
Dil ke tukdon ko samet kar chal diya,
Jo mera tha, woh kabhi mera tha hi nahi, yeh sach maan liya.

Mohabbat aur vishwas ka ek kissa ban gaya,
Dhokha khakar bhi dil kuch seekh na paya.
Phir bhi har dard ko ek kahani samajh liya,
Zindagi ke har rang ko apna banaya.

Tootne se pehle sambhalne ka junoon hai,
Apno ke dhokhe mein jeene ka ek sukoon hai.
Yeh safar hai, jisme sabko parkhna padega,
Har apna yahan apna nahi banega.
