dil ki kalam se
pehali baar salaam likhha
maine khat mehaboob ke naam likha
yaadon mein din kaatati thi aur na gujarati thi raatein
kaise bhala main bataayu tujhako judaayi ki baatein
rang laayi bekaraari aisi chhaayi thi khumaari
maine subah ko shaam likhha
maine khat mehaboob ke naam likha
tere gulaabi labo se shabanam ke daane churaaoo
jo baat khatamein likhi na aaja tujhe main bataaoo
yu hi aanhe bharate bharate tauba maine darate darete
ulfat ka payaam likha
maine khat mehaboob ke naam likha
achhaa nahi yu tadapana aise mitegi na doori
shehnaayi jis din bajegi har aarajoo hogi puri
pyaas apani kab bhujegi jaane doli kab sajegi
rab ne kya anjaam likha
maine khat mehaboob ke naam likha
pyar ke kaagaz pe dil ki kalam se
pehali baar salaam likhha
maine khat mehaboob ke naam likha
