Alvida

(Verse 1)

Aakhri mulaqat thi, jaise shaam ka dhundhla saaya,

Kuchh kehna tha, kuchh sunna tha, par waqt ne thukraya.

Woh aankhon mein nami thi, yaadon ki silan thi,

Jaise purani kitaabon mein, kuchh raaz dafan thi.

(Chorus)

Alvida kehna tha, par lab sil gaye the,

Jaise ret ke mahal, pal mein hi gir gaye the.

Waqt ki yeh lehrein, door le gayi humein,

Phir bhi dil mein basi hai, aakhri woh tumhari nami.

(Verse 2)

Woh meethi si muskurahat, woh dheemi si aawaaz,

Jaise raat ke andhere mein, jugnoo ki thodi si pyaas.

Kuchh adhure khwaab the, kuchh ankahe sawaal,

Jaise sukhe patton pe, barasti ho halki si taal.

(Chorus)

Alvida kehna tha, par lab sil gaye the,

Jaise ret ke mahal, pal mein hi gir gaye the.

Waqt ki yeh lehrein, door le gayi humein,

Phir bhi dil mein basi hai, aakhri woh tumhari nami.

(Bridge)

Jaise railway station pe, train chhoot jaati hai,

Yaadon ki yeh gaadi, phir bhi daudti jaati hai.

Kuchh lamhe the jo, dil mein samaaye baithe hain,

Jaise aakhri baarish ki boondein, haathon mein aaye baithe hain.

(Verse 3)

Woh aakhri nazar, jaise thehri hui tasveer,

Kuchh keh rahi thi, par zubaan thi be-aseer.

Jaise shaam ki dhoop, dheere dheere dhal rahi thi,

Dil ki yeh kahani, adhoori si rah gayi thi.

(Chorus)

Alvida kehna tha, par lab sil gaye the,

Jaise ret ke mahal, pal mein hi gir gaye the.

Waqt ki yeh lehrein, door le gayi humein,

Phir bhi dil mein basi hai, aakhri woh tumhari nami.

(Outro)

Jaise raakh se dhuan, dheere dheere uthta hai,

Dil se yaadon ka silsila, yunhi chalta hai.

Aakhri mulaqat thi, aur aakhri hi rahegi,

Dil ke kisi kone mein, yeh kasak sadaa rahegi.
