KHAT
LETTER

Dil ne likha hei aaj khat unkei naam

Pehli baar bheja hei humne unhei salaam

My heart has written a letter in his name

First time I am sending a message to him

Na dil samaj paya aur na hum, ki kya likhei

Likhdi hei humnei duvaiye hazaro unkei naam

Neither my heart nor did I understandd, what I should write

So I just wrote thousand of good wishes for him

 

Likhna chahte thei bahut par sabd hi na milei

Khat mei likh bheja humnei apna ek kalaam

I wished to write many things but didn’t find the words

So I wrote a poem of love and sent the letter to him

 

Socha tha ki ek gulaab saath bhej denge hum

Par unkei naam mein bhi toe mahek nahi hei kum

First I thought to sending a rose with it

But then his name itself has the fragrance

 

Daakiya aisa dhundhe kanha se hum, jo aaj hi ponhchaiye

Sapno mei jaa kar apne haath se dei aaye hum

Where can I get a postman who will deliver my letter today

So I went into dreams and gave the letter with my own hand

 

Aaj bhi aankh bandh kar jabh sapne dekhte hei hum

Haath mei khat liye muskurate najar aatei hei sanam

Today even when I close my eyes and see a dream

I see him holding my letter and a smile on his face.
