Aaj Voh Mere Saath Nahi Tha

Aankhe Num Thi Or Dil Bhi Dard Se Ro Raha Tha,
Naa Jaane Kyon Chhodkar Mujhe Voh Chala Gaya Tha,

Saza Bhi Toh Milni Thi Jab Dil Lagaya Maine Tha,
Mere Be-inteha Pyar Ko Usne Na Kabhi Jana Tha,

Vo Khud Ko Kabhi Mere Kaabil Na Samajta Tha,
Tabhi To Yun Mujhe Tanha Chhodkar Chal Diya Tha,

Voh Gaya Toh Gaya Is Kadar, Na Kabhi Fir Use Dekha Tha,
Aise Jaise Chaand Bhi Kabhi Badlon Mein Chhipta Tha,

Kal Ko Voh Ek Anjaani Rah Par Yu Achanak Se Mila Tha,
Par Mila Bhi Toh Jaise Voh Mera Koi Toh Nahi Tha,

Pyar Ki Kahani Ka Ajib Sa Ant Mere Yaaro Tha,
Jise Maine Apna Mana Voh Mera Koi Toh Nahi Tha,

Aankhe Hans Di Thi Par Dil Roya Mera Tha,
Kyoki Aaj Voh Mere Saath Nahi Tha,
Jise Maine Apna Mana Tha...
