Kal kitna mayoos tha main,
Kisi hawai haadse' mein humare' do jaanbaaz apni jaan gawan baithe'.
Unke' chahne' waalon ki haalat soch kar mera rooh kaanp utha,
Unn sabhi ne' jaane' kya kya khwab dekhe' the'?
Akhbaaron mein pehli baar unn do jaanbaazon ki tasveer dekhe',
Ek a ek yoon lagaa jaise' woh koi gair nahi magar magar mere' hi apne' the".
Do din iss mayoosi mein guzar gaye",
Ab magar muskurahat ke' kuch leher mere' chehre' pe' aa gaye'.
Zindagi toh chalte' rehne' ka doosra naam hai,
Yeh alfaaz kai saal pehle' humne' aur kaiyon ne' sune' the'.
Meri, aapki aur kaiyon ki zindagi chalti hi jaayegi,
Magar unn do jaanbaazon ke' chahne' waalon ke' kya haal honge'?
Iss sawal par ab kaun kaun gaur kareinge'?
