Shagun lekar naa kyun ghar se chalaa main

Shagun lekar naa kyun ghar se chalaa main
tumhaare shaher mein tanhaa phiraa main

akelaa thaa kise aawaaz detaa
Utarti raat se tanhaa laDaa main

guzarte waqt ke pairo.n mein aayaa
sarakti dhoop kaa saayaa banaa main

kHalaao.n mein mujhe phenkaa gayaa thaa
zamee.n pe rezaa rezaa ho gayaa main

mire hone ne mujhko maar Daalaa
nahi.n thaa to bahut mahfooz thaa main

yahaa.n to aaine hi aaine hain
mujhe dhoonDo kahaa.n par kho gayaa main
