Jahaa.N phuulo.n ko khilnaa thaa vahii.n khilte to achchhaa thaa,
tumhii.n ko ham ne chaahaa thaa tumhii.n milte to achchhaa thaa,

tumhaare Khat ko ashko.n se shab-e-Gham me.n jalaayaa hai,

hazaaro.n zaKhm aise hai.n agar silate to achchhaa thaa,
tumhe.n jitanaa bhulaayaa hai tumharii yaad aa_ii hai,

bahaar-e-nau jo aa_ii hai vo hii Khushbuu laa_ii hai,
tumhare lab merii Khaatir agar hilate to achchhaa thaa,

milaa hai lutf bhii ham ko hasii.n yaado.n kii jhil-mil me.n,
kaTatii hai zindagii tum bin magar itanii sii hai dil me.n,

agar tum aate to achchhaa thaa agar milate to achchhaa thaa.
