Ab kiya likhein hum kagaz per

Ab kiya likhein hum kagaz per
Ab likhne ko kiya baki hai
Ik dil tha su wo tuth giya
Ab lutne ko kiya baki hai

Ik shaks ko hum ne caha tha
Ik reet pe naqsh banaya tha
In reet ke zarun ko hum ne
Phir apne dil main sajaya tha
Wo reet tu kab ki bikhar **
Wo naqsh kahan ab baki hai
Ab kiya likhein hum kagaz per
Ab likne ko kiya baki hai

Hum jin ko apni nazmoon ka
Unwan banaya karte the
Lafzun ka bana kar taj mehal
Kagaz par sajaya karte the
Wo hum ko akela choor **
Sab rishtoon se mun murr **
Ab rishte sare sune hain
Wo piyar kahan ab baki hai
Ab kiya likhein hum kagaz per
Ab likne ko kiya baki hai..
