kyoon aayi meri zindagi mein, aur kyun mujhe pareshaan chhod gayi
aankhon mein adhoora intzaar, aur dil mein ankahe armaan chhod gayi

jis pal tujhse milaa tha, jaise khud ko paa liya tha meine,
meri khud se pehchaan karaane ka, mujhpar ek ehsaan chhod gayi

tujhse pehle bematlab thi ye zindagi, aur bevajah hai tere baad bhi,
mili thi ek adhoore shaks se, aur peeche ek naummeed insaan chhod gayi

kaise bhool sakta hoon use jisne dil ko chhua tha apni har nazar se,
jo teri yaad dilaate rahien, dil mein aise daaim nishaan chhod gayi

ilm to tujhe bhi tha, ki bemaksad hai mera jeena tere bina,
fir kyun tadapne bhar ke liye, 'majrooh' mein thodi si jaan chhod gayi
