Khat likhne' ki tamanna liye'

Khat likhne' ki tamanna liye' main kagaz aur kalam lekar baitha hoon,
Armanon ko khayal se' nikaal kar kagaz pe' utaarne' ki tamanna liye' baitha hoon.

Unka khayal bhi dil-o-dimaag mein aa raha hai,
Unn sab khayalon ko kuch alagh hi andaz dene' ki aarzoo liye' baitha hoon.

Haath mein kalam ko jaise' jakkar kar rakha hoon,
Kagaz par yeh kalam jaise' tez raftaar se' bhagne' ki koshish kar raha ho,
Aise' hi kisi nazare' ki tamanna liye' baitha hoon.

Khat likhna mere' liye' koi mamooli baat nahi,
Aaj mere' khayal betaabi se' behtareen lafazon ki talaash kar rahe' hain.

Kya unke' liye' yeh mera diwaanapan hai?
Ya beete' hue' unn palon ka karishma hai?
Isi kashmakash mein kuch uljha baitha hoon.

Ek-a-ek woh lafaz mere' khayalon mein aa hi gaye' hain,
Ab kalam bhi tez raftaar se' kagaz pe' bhaag raha hai.

Sochne' ka toh mauka hi nahi mil raha,
Aur dekhte' hi dekhte' woh kora kagaz mere' armaanon se' bhar hi jaata hai.

Yeh karishma kya aur kaise' ho gaya?
Ab isi ki soch mein baitha hoon.
