Aapko alvida kehte' waqt

Composed this for farewell of a dear colleague:

Aapko alvida kehte' waqt,
Hum khud ko sambhalne' ki koshish karte' hain.

Zindagi toh aane' jaane' ka doosra naam hai,
Yeh aaj khud ko samjhane' ki koshish karte' hain.

Humari nazron se' dooor gaye' toh kya gaye',
Humare' khyalon mein aapka ashiyana hai.

Jahaan aake' ab tak naa gaya koi,
Wahin aapka ab ek thikana hai.

Phir milenge' kabhi, 
Iss umeed se' hum aaj aapse' vida lete' hain.

Magar tabtak aapko hum aapne' khayalon mein dhoondte' rahenge',
Yeh aapse' aaj vaada karte' hain.
