Ek sheher ke kone mein, ek chhoti si gali,
Jahan khilte the khwabon ke phool kali-kali.
Wahan mila ek ladka ek ladki se,
Jaise mil jaye ret ko barish ke boondein dhire se.
Ladka tha sawalon ka samundar,
Aur ladki thi jawab ka ek sundar manzar.
Woh hansi thi chandni raat ki tarah,
Aur uski baatein, jaise sitaron ki parchhaayi ho chhoti si harah.
Woh dono mile, kabhi shabdon mein, kabhi khamoshiyon mein,
Kabhi aankhon ke jazbaat mein, kabhi doston ke behad qisson mein.
Mohabbat unki, na toh shabd chahiye thi,
Na kisi gawahi ki mohar chahiye thi.
Ek din ladka bola, "Kya tu meri banegi?"
Ladki hansi aur boli, "Mohabbat ki todein kya bandagi?"
Woh samajh gaye, ishq ka matlab sirf saath hona hai,
Na mohra chahiye, na wada, bas ek dil ka kona hai.
Zindagi ne chalti rahi apni raftaar,
Par unki mohabbat thi har dukh ka uphaar.
Koi naam nahi diya unhone is rishte ko,
Par mohabbat thi, jo dikhti thi har muskurate shabdon mein.
Ye kahani na adhuri hai, na poori,
Bas ek anjaani si yaadon ki hai bhanwri.
Ek ladka aur ladki ki mohabbat hai,
Jo duniya se alag, sirf unki baat hai.
