be-diye le uDa kabutar KHat
be-diye le uḌā kabūtar ḳhat
yuuñ pahuñchtā hai uupar uupar ḳhat
purze purze huā sarāsar ḳhat
ek ḳhat ke bane bahattar ḳhat
qatl hote haiñ nāma-bar har roz
laash par laash aur ḳhat par ḳhat
roz ik nāma-bar kahāñ se aa.e
yuuñ hī rakh chhoḌtā huuñ likh kar ḳhat
kyā qalam ne sharar-fishānī kī
phuljaḌī ban gayā mirā har ḳhat
chaar haiñge kul un ke ham-sā.e
likh ke de aa.e aaj ham-sar ḳhat
jo ki lete nahīñ haiñ merā naam
vo likheñge mujhe muqarrar ḳhat
kis tarah sarnavisht ko badlūñ
ḳhat meñ mil jaa.e ġhair ke gar ḳhat
paḌh to leñge vo naama merā bhī
aate rahte haiñ us ke aksar ḳhat
dekh kar naam pheñk deñge zarūr
phir na leñge kabhī mukarrar ḳhat
Dāk-ghar meñ ticket nahīñ baaqī
'nāzim' itne ga.e haiñ ḳhat par ḳhat
be-diye le uDa kabutar KHat
yun pahunchta hai upar upar KHat
purze purze hua sarasar KHat
ek KHat ke bane bahattar KHat
qatl hote hain nama-bar har roz
lash par lash aur KHat par KHat
roz ek nama-bar kahan se aae
yun hi rakh chhoDta hun likh kar KHat
kya qalam ne sharar-fishani ki
phuljaDi ban gaya mera har KHat
chaar hainge kul un ke ham-sae
likh ke de aae aaj ham-sar KHat
jo ki lete nahin hain mera nam
wo likhenge mujhe muqarrar KHat
kis tarah sarnawisht ko badlun
KHat mein mil jae ghair ke gar KHat
paDh to lenge wo nama mera bhi
aate rahte hain us ke aksar KHat
dekh kar nam phenk denge zarur
phir na lenge kabhi mukarrar KHat
Dak-ghar mein ticket nahin baqi
'nazim' itne gae hain KHat par KHat
