beintehaa chaha tha tumhe,
tumne bhi to thoda sa ishq kiya hoga?
dil jo dukhaya tha tumne,
tumhe bhi, dard, to diya hoga?

gusse mei bolei the jo lafz tumne,
chup rehkar, ek dafa aur sune the humne.
aankhein jo bheegi thi hamari,
kya maanoge galti thi tumhari?

apni mohabbat ke imtehaan to kayi diye humne,
chalo iss baar tum pareeksha to dena.
sawaal kehkar jo ilzaam pr, ilzaam diye the tumne,
magar iss baar shaant hokar seesha to dekhna.

khair,
beintehaa chaha tha tumhe,
tumne bhi to thoda sa ishq kiya hoga?
