Ek Baar

Voh dar aaj bhi hai, jo pyaar ko chhipaata raha,

Har us shaqs se, maine dhokha hi bas paaya tha.

Isi dar se main tumse door jaakar khada raha,

Jo kehna tha tumse, kabhi zubaan par na laa saka.

Jab andhera gehra tha, tab tum asha ban kar aayi thhi,

Mujhe us khaamoshi ke jagaar se nikhaala thha.

Main der se samjha, kya ho tum mere liye,

Par yeh dil kehta hai, ek baar mil lo, bas ik baar!

Sab chhod ke, sab bhool ke, ik baar mil lo na...

Maine der se jaana, kya mahatva thha tumhaara,

Meri galati thhi, maine qadar na ki, yeh sweekaar hai.

Par tum voh bhool mat karna, samay ko vyarth na jaane do,

Agar prem thoda bhi baaki hai, usse mittne na dena tum.

Aankhon mein aaj bhi wohi sach nazar aata hai mujhe,

Dhadkan mein tumhaari, wohi pehla ehsaas zinda hai.

Aaj bhi wahi darr hai, wahi khamoshi hai,

Saamne aao toh, dharkan tez hoti hai.

Woh sach jo kehna tha, ab tak na keh paaya,

Koshish toh ki, par har baar haath tham gaya.

Laut aao tum, yeh pukaar hai, mera anurod hai,

Kya ab bhi sambhav hai, humaara saath hona?
