Tere Khushbuu me.n base Khat mai.n jalaataa kaise,
jin ko duniyaa kii nigaaho.n se chhupaaye rakhaa ,
jin ko ik umr kaleje se lagaaye rakhaa,
diin jin ko, jinhe.n iimaan banaaye rakhaa,
 jin kaa har lafz mujhe yaad thaa paanii kii tarah 
yaad the mujh ko jo paiGaam-e-zubaanii kii tarah, 
mujh ko pyaare the jo anmol nishaanii kii tarah
tuune duniyaa kii nigaaho.n se jo bachakar likhe ,
saalahaa-saal mere naam baraabar likhe ,
kabhii din me.n to kabhii raat me.n uThakar likhe,
tere Khushbuu me.n base Khat mai.n jalaataa kaise ,
pyaar me.n Duube huye Khat mai.n jalaata kaise 
tere haatho.n ke likhe Khat mai.n jalaata kaise,
tere Khat aaj mai.n gangaa me.n bahaa aayaa huu.N, 
aag bahate huye paanii me.n lagaa aayaa huu.N,
