~~~...Khat mein tumhaara naam...~~~

cheer-phaad kuch sapnon ki kal kari thi
kuch puraane bhoole khat khol liye the...

barasti boondon ki thap-thap ke beech
meethi si, sureeli si, ek aawaaz goonji
sar utha ke dekha to meri tanhai dikhi
use maine shakal di, tamanna-e-'Noor'
us se dillagi karke sukoon paya thoda...

garje baadal, baarish aur tez ho chali...
leti thi mere kareeb tanhai, ik tees uthi...

kabhi tum bhi thi usi jagah, ab hai woh
ho na jaise lamha, balki poori zindagi...
main kab talak usi manzar mein jiyun
ye sochkar, haath tumhaara hai wahin?
thehra sa mere haath mein abhi bhi...

us khat mein tumhaara naam likha tha
maine apne haath likha tha, bheja nahi...

  2. brilliant viti..loving it...sirf ek cheez poochni thi" kal kari thi" to "kal kia tha" shayad ye acha hoga..pata nai (kari thi sounds bombay hindi to me)

  5. thank you so much!! as you can probably tell, gulzar sahab's my idol :D

    @ani - hmm, which one sounds better/right? "cheer phaad kari thi" or "cheer phaad kiya tha" because ultimately "kuch sapnon ki kal" is kind of like a dependent clause...

    @shweta - i am somewhat inspired by that beautiful work for sure :D thank you!
