Yaadein.

“Tere saath bitaaya har ek pal, har ek muskurahat mere dil ke sabse kareeb hai. Shayad jab tu mere saath thi, tab main woh mohabbat jitni gehraiyon se mehsoos karta tha, utni bechaini se kabhi jataa nahi saka. Par ab, jab tu paas nahi hai, tab har cheez adhoori si lagti hai. Shor se bhare kamre bhi ab khaali khaali lagte hain… aur tanhaai mein sirf tera naam goonjta hai. Jab tujhe dekha tha pehli baar, dil ne bina soche samjhe bas itna kaha — ‘yeh toh apna hai… bilkul apna sa lagta hai.’ Tujhse juda hoke samjha ki mohabbat sirf hone ka naam nahi, mohabbat toh wahi hai jo teri yaadon mein bhi saans leti hai.”
