Aadat

Mujhe aadat si pad gayi hai tumhari,

                Maano jaan se jaan jud gayi hai hamari,

Tumhare chehre ko palkon se hatana nahi chahta,

               Aur ye dil un yaadon ko mitana nahi chahta,

Tumhari yaadein mujhe jeene nahi deti,

              Aur meri saansein unhe bhulne nahi deti,

Muskaan tumhari yaad nahi aati,

              Aur aankhein bhi bhar nahi pati,

Baadlon ke paar mujhe dekhna nahi aata,

             Aur ye dil udne ki tamanna chhodna nahi chahta,

Majbur ho kr baitha hun in zindagi ke panno me,

            Shayad isiliye khoya rehta shabdon ki is janjeer me.
