Kabhii bachpan kii yaad aaye

Kabhii bachpan kii yaad aaye kabhii yauvan kii yaad aaye
Guzaara sang jo tere, kuNwarepan kii yaad aaye
NahiN kuchh raat na kuchh din, na subah-o-shaam kii sudh
ThiiVoh taknaa ek-duuje ko voh har ik kshan kii yaad aaye
Tumhare saath kaa aabhaas bhii kitnaa suhana hai
Ghula har saaNs meiN merii jo us chandan kii yaad aaye
Voh mera dost Thaa, hamdard Thaa, kya-kyaa Tha kya jaane
DiloN ke beech apne Thaa jo us bandhan kii yaad aaye
BichhuRna uska mujhse voh pralay ka din
Tha jeevan meiNHriday ko cheer kar nikla jo us krandan kii yaad aaye
VahaaN bhii maun Tha, chup Thii yahaaN bhii aur saNnaTaa
Samay kii kokh se upjaa jo us spandan kii yaad aaye
Kabhii bachpan kii yaad aaye kabhii yauvan kii yaad aaye
Guzaara sang jo tere, kuNwarepan kii yaad aaye
NahiN kuchh raat na kuchh din, na subah-o-shaam kii sudh
ThiiVoh taknaa ek-duuje ko voh har ik kshan kii yaad aaye
Tumhare saath kaa aabhaas bhii kitnaa suhana hai
Ghula har saaNs meiN merii jo us chandan kii yaad aaye
Voh mera dost Thaa, hamdard Thaa, kya-kyaa Tha kya jaane
DiloN ke beech apne Thaa jo us bandhan kii yaad aaye
BichhuRna uska mujhse voh pralay ka din Tha jeevan meiN
Hriday ko cheer kar nikla jo us krandan kii yaad aaye
VahaaN bhii maun Tha, chup Thii yahaaN bhii aur saNnaTaa
Samay kii kokh se upjaa jo us spandan kii yaad aaye
