Maine Lafzon ke daa.iro mein kuch chupa ke rakha hai
Khud ki khaamiya pheliiyon mein chupa ke rakha hai
Apni zindagi ke alfaazon se kahanio ko piroh ke rakha hai
Meine khud ko kisi khat mein chupa ke rakha hai
Uss murjhaye hue phool ki tarha, koi kitab mein rakha hai
Bhoole kisi geet ki tarah casette mein record kar ke rakha hai
Bachpan ke ek kitab ko almirah mein rakha hai
Meine khud ko bade sambhaal ke rakha hai
Shabd toh yeh mere apne hai
Meri dhaal ban ke mujhe sambhaal ke rakha hai
Meri paheli ka jawaab woh ek Gazal hai - tujhe shyaad yaad hai.
Mere baad iss Gazal ko kisi ne yaad toh rakhna hai
