aaj to be-sabab udaas hai jii


aaj to be-sabab udaas hai jii
ishq hotaa to ko_ii baat bhii thii

jalataa phirataa huu.N kyuu.N do-paharo.n me.n
jaane kyaa chiiz kho ga_ii merii

vahii.n phirataa huu.N mai.n bhii Khaak ba-sar
is bhare shahar me.n hai ek galii

chhupataa phirataa hai ishq duniyaa se
phailatii jaa rahii hai rusvaa_ii

ham_nashii.n kyaa kahuu.N ke vo kyaa hai
chho.D ye baat niind u.Dane lagii

aaj to vo bhii kuchh Khaamosh saa thaa
mai.n ne bhii us se ko_ii baat na kii

ek dam us ke haath chuum liye
ye mujhe baiThe baiThe kyaa suujhii

tuu jo itanaa udaas hai 'Nasir'
tujhe kyaa ho gayaa bataa to sahii
