ek puraanee kitaab ke pannon pe aaj ungalee chalaaee
jaane kahaa(n) se kuchh dheemee aavaazen aaee
aavaaz ek jaanee pahachaanee see
aavaazen kuchh barason puraanee see
ek ha(n)see thee door se aatee huee
goonjatee thee dil ko bharamaatee huee
kitanee hee baaten thee us aavaaz men
jaane kyaa kah gaee apane hee andaaz men
ek sangeet khaamoshee kee neend toḌataa huaa
puraanee ग़zalon kaa dushaalaa oḌhataa huaa
kuchh savaal uThe uchak kar aise
neend se koee bachchaa jaagataa ho jaise
booḌhee pankhuḌiyon se bujhee raakh TaTol rahaa thaa
us kitaab men dabaa ek gulaab bol rahaa thaa
meraa haath pakaḌ kar vo muskuraane lagaa
kinhee bichhḌe raaston par le jaane lagaa
kuchh soch kar mainne usakaa haath jhaTak diyaa
kitaab band kar usakaa munh bhee band kar diyaa
