Jab merii yaad sataaye to mujhe Khat likhanaa,

Jab merii yaad sataaye to mujhe Khat likhanaa,

pyaasii dhartii me.n samaane ko tarasataa saavan,
raat bhar chhat pe lagaataar barasataa saavan,
dil me.n jab aag lagaaye to mujhe Khat likhanaa,

jab pha.Dak uThe kisii shaaKh pe pattaa ko_ii,
gud_gudaaye tumhe.n biitaa huaa lamhaa ko_ii
jab merii yaad kaa bechain safiinaa ko_ii
jii ko rah rah ke jalaaye to mujhe Khat likhanaa,

jab nigaaho.n ke liye ko_ii nazaaraa na rahe,

log ho jaaye.n paraaye to mujhe Khat likhanaa,
