yaadein to resham siun lamhon ki jisme
kabhi hum beh gaye the
saath saath kuch pal
kisi roz hum jee gaye the

waqt ka ek daur wo bhi tha
tere bina jeena mushkil
tu hee ek humnawa tha jab
honth bhi gar see liya karte the
aapas mein kuch baatein
hum phir bhi kar liya karte the

ek daur aaj aisa bhi aaya hai
masroofiyat ka mahaul chhaya hai
saans lene ki fursat na ho gar
to kise yaad karen
kiske paas hai itna waqt
ki meri awaaz ka intezaar kare?

tumne to haale dil kehna chhod diya
ek humari hee aadat thi ke
jab kuch pal sahaare hote
ek sadaa tum tak zaroor
pahuncha diya karte the

....
....
uff us sadaa ka kya kehna
bedard yaadon ko le aati thi saamne
kuch lamhe phir se jeete the
kuch thandi aahen phir se peete the
dil behalta aur toot jaata ek hee pal mein
jab wo bedard sadaa aati thi

kab tak sehte tum in sadaaon ka aatank
aaj tumne aakhir munh mod liya
waqt ka ye daur shaayad guzre na guzre
tumne meri raaheguzar se
guzar jaana kubool kar hee liya

chal diye tum apni raah pe akele aaj
meri har sadaa ko rok diya
ke ab na koi yaad tadpayegi
sirf suhaani yaadgaar yaad aayegi

ke ab na koi hasrat hai un lamhon ki
to tadap ka kaam nahin
....tere bina jeene ki aadat hai ab,
sadaa aake hasraton ko na jagaaye
to jeena itna mushkil bhi nahin

har rishta tod ke chal diye
har sadaa rok ke chal diye
chal pade tum apni raah pe akele
mere saare sawaal-au-jawaab
mere saare khayaale-e-ummeed
mere hawaale karke
chal pade tum apni raah pe akele


khush rehna
aur yaadon ko dhundhla dena
waqt naam ka marham lagaa dena

tera saath gawaara na hua
tu humara hoke bhi humara na hua
meri ab har sadaa mere halak mein quaid hai
ki
aaj se zauq bhi
chal pade apni raah pe akele



- zauq

Poet's notes:
This is a song I wrote in urdu.....can't really use this medium to express the composition on how it is to be sung.....its a song of parting between lovers who can't be together and find it too tough to keep in touch....as random contact lacerates their heart and brings back feelings of need for each other...so its deemed best to break all contact and move on.....hats off to their spirit and courage....

I have tried to use lighter urdu words, but in case you still find a few phrases ambiguous feel free to leave a mail/comment, I will reply/put in place a glossary.
