Woh aakhirii alwida

Woh aakhirii alwida ke b’ad ek alwida keh ke chale gaye
aur nazuk rishtoon ki aakhiri kaDi bhi tooD ke chale gaye

darwaazey ki dehliiz pe khaRey khaRey unko dekhte rahe
aur saat jeene maarne ke paemaan ko kafan pehnate rahe

ankhoon se aansuo(n) ka sailaab umaDa aur beh gaya
kaapteh haath meyñ bey laus qaraabat ka janazah uta gaya

apne laboon pe unki saasoon ke mehak ko alwida na keh sakey
apne ruKHsaar pe unki saasoon ke ehsaas ko alwida na keh sakey

apne seeneh mein unki dharkan ko alwida na keh sakey
yaadoon ke ujhre aaSHiyaane ko alwida na keh sakey.

baad muddat ke bhi hum aakhirii alwida na keh sakey
unko aakhirii alwida ke b’ad alwida hum na keh sakey
