Khushboo ki tarah aaye aur jhokon ke ho gaye
Manzil ki talaash mae rastae bhi kho gaye
Hum unse kuch kehtae gaye, voh kuch aur samajh baithe
Kuch suna, thoda samjhaa aur baaki mae ro gaye
Hum intezaar mae thae ke voh aaenge laut ke
Aankhein jagi thi raat bhar par ehsaas so gaye
Voh ‘ishq’ ki dagar chale aur chaaha bhi toot ke
Jaane khushi ya dard ke par aansoo dubo gaye
