afsaana

Zara si baat ka itna yeh afsaana hua hai kyon,
Mera dil hai mujhi se phir ye begana hua hai kyon.

Shama-e-hasrat-e-gunjaaish-e-deedaar ki khaatir,
Yun jal-jal kar pighal kar khaaq parvaana hua hai kyon.

Na kuch ummeed na izhaar ka mauka hi kuch haasil,
Karun kya yeh mera dil aisa deewana hua hai kyon.
