Kabhi kitabon mein phool rakhna
Kabhi darakhton pe naam likhna
Hamein bhi hai yaad aaj tak woh
Nazar se harf-e-salaam likhna


Woh chaand chehare woh bahaki baatein
Sulagate din the mahakati raatein
Woh chhote-chhote se kagazon par
Mohabbaton ke payaam likhna

Gulaab chehron se dil lagana
Woh chupake chupake nazar milana
Woh aarazoon ke khvab bunana
Woh kissaa-e-naatamaam likhna

Mere nagar ki hasin fazaao
Kahin jo unke nishaan paao
Toh poochna yeh kaha base ho
Kaha hai unka qayaam likhna

Ga_ii ruton mein hamara
Bas ek hi toh yeh mashagala tha
Kisi ke chehare ko subah kehna
Kisi ki zulfon ko shaam likhna
