Kabhi kitabon mein phool rakhna,kabhi darakhton pe naam likhna
humhain bhi hai yaad aaj tak wo nazar se harf-e-salam likhna
wo chand chehre wo behki bate`n sulagte din the mehki raten
wo chhote chhote kaghazon par mohabbat ka pegham likhna
gulab chehron se dil lagana, wo chhup ke chhupke nazar milana
wo aarzoo`n ke khwab bunna, wo qusa-e-na tamam likhna
mere nagar ki haseen fiza`on kaheen jo un ka nishan pao
to poochhna ye kahan base wo, kahan hai un ka qayam likhna
gai ruton mein husan humara bas ek hi to ye mashghla tha
kisi ke chehre ko subah kehna, kisi ke zulfon ko sham kehna
