Kisi Ki Yaad Ka Chehra

Kisi ki yaad ka chehra...

Mere veeran ghar ki adh-khuli khidki se,
Jo mujh ko bulata hai,

Samay ki aankh se toota hua taara,
Jo akasr raat ki palkon ke peechhe jhilmilata hai,

Use main bhool jaaungi.!

Mulayem kaasni lamha..
Kahin beete zamano'n se nikal kar muskuraata hai,

Koi bhoola hua naghma..
Faza mein chup ke chup ke phail jaata hai,

Bahut din se kisi ummid ka saaya..
Kathin raahon mein mere saath aata hai,

Use main bhool jaaungi.!

Purani diary ki shokh tahreero'n mein,
Jo ek naam baaqi hai,

Kisi manzar ki khushbu mein rachi,
Jo rahat-e-gumnaam baaqi hai,

Adhoore naqsh ki takmeel ka,
Jitna bhi jo bhi kaam baaqi hai,

Ye jitne deed ke lamhe,
Ye jitni shaam baqai hai,

Use main bhool jaaungi.!

Kisi ki yaad ka chehra..

Use main bhool jaaungi.!
Use main bhool jaaungi.!

Main akasr sochti to hun,

Magar wo yaad ka chehra!
Magar wo adh-khuli khidki.!!
