I wrote it when I was leaving IBM … I was in a confused state of emotions… Moving from IBM was my decision but now, as the feeling of parting was sinking I was nostalgic… not sure of the exact feelings… watever came to mind is here … in front of you all…

Saari zindagi saath nibhaane ka koi vaada to na tha,
Mere ehsaaso main bas jaane ka koi bahaana to na tha,
Hum jaante haen e-dost tujhko bakhoobi,
Mera dil tod kar jaane ka koi tera koi iraada to na tha…

Aaj, in tanhaiyon main…..
Phir yaad tumhaari aati hae,
Ek tees si dil main uth-ti hae,
Aur awaaz kahin se aati hae,
Kahan ho, kahan ho tum…
Har pal tumko dhundhoon main,
Har pal tumko sochoon main,
Kaun ho tum, kya rishta hae tumse,
Aur kyon is bandhan ko todoon main.
Ab is chakravyuh main uljha hoon….
Na-jaane kab maen in rishto ko badlunga,
Na-jaane kab main in bandhan ko todunga,
Nahi hae ilm¹ mujhe in gehraiyon ka,
Na-jaane kab maen is jeevan ko samjhunga…
Na-jaane kab maen is jeevan ko samjhunga…

Yeh vaada tha mera tumse ki jeevan bhar saath nibhaunga…
Maangogi gar tum to chaand taare bhi tod kar launga…
Rakhunga tuumko hamesha in palko per, teri har chahat ko poora karke aaunga…
Le jaunga tujhko saer jannat ki karaane aur agar thakk gaya to tere aanchal main so jaunga…
Rakhunga tujhko doooor har gham se aur tere liye duniya se maen lad jaunga…
Gar kardo vaada tum saath sada dene ka to is duniya ko dikhlaunga…
Hota hae ishq kya, yeh aashiq ban kar dikhaunga…
Afsos ke ab tera saath nahi hae, aur baaki bhi koi aas nahi hae…
In tootey jazbaato ke saath ab main baaki jeevan apna bitaunga…
Kehte ho bhool jaogey mujhe, maen teri yaadon main bas jaunga…
Apna baaki jeevan maen phir bhi tera saath nibhaunga…
