Yaadon ke saaye

(Verse 1)

Kuch pal aise hote hain, jo thehar jaate hain,

Kitni bhi koshish kar lo, phir bhi yaad aate hain.

Ek tasveer bani hai, aankhon ke parde par,

Jab bhi woh dikhti hai, dard uthta hai andar.

Koi baatein adhoori si, koi hansi purani,

Dhundhlaati hui ek, pyaari si kahani.

Dhundo to milti nahi, chhuo to haath nahi aati,

Bas khamoshi mein ghuli, woh aawaz sataati.

(Chorus)

Yaadon ke saaye mein, dil ye mera roya,

Kya kho diya maine, kya sach mein maine khoya?

Ek roshni thi kabhi, jo ab bujh si gayi hai,

Uss pal ki talaash mein, zindagi thehar gayi hai.

(Verse 2)

Kabhi thi baharein yahan, khilte the gulzaar,

Har lamha lagta tha, jaise ho koi tyohaar.

Woh hawaon mein ghuli, tere saanson ki khushboo,

Ab sunsaan raahon mein, dhundu bas tujhe tu.

Akelepan ka safar, ab lambha lagta hai,

Har subah ka suraj bhi, bejan sa lagta hai.

Kya hai jo baaki hai, kya hai jo jaana hai,

Bas iss sawaal mein, har din beetaana hai.

(Chorus)

Yaadon ke saaye mein, dil ye mera roya,

Kya kho diya maine, kya sach mein maine khoya?

Ek roshni thi kabhi, jo ab bujh si gayi hai,

Uss pal ki talaash mein, zindagi thehar gayi hai.

(Bridge)

Na koi faryaad hai, na koi shikwa hai,

Bas ek ehsaas hai, jo mujhme chipka hai.

Umeed ki kiran, shayad kahin chamke,

Uss khoi hui shakti, ko phir se hum pa sake.

(Outro)

Ye geet hai us pal ka, jo lauta nahi,

Bas aankhon mein nami hai, labon pe hansi nahi.

Yaadon ke saaye mein, main ab bhi jeeta hoon,

Uss beete kal ko, har pal main peeta hoon.
