jab mere nam tere pyar ka khat aata hai
chand lamhon ko gham-e-hijr bhi mit jata hai

aisa lagta hai tera khat nahin tu aaya hai
is tawassul se tasawwur mein tujhe paya hai

ya ki ye khwab gham-e-hijr ne dikhlaya hai
khat ne phir qissa-e-mazi mera dohraya hai

jab ye aata hai teri yaad mein tadpata hai
jab mere nam tere pyar ka khat aata hai

khat ke alfaz se yaad aata hai tera lahja
yaad aata hai rifaqat ka teri har lamha

aaj bhi tujh se bichhadne ka hai dil ko sadma
ab wo derina mohabbat hai adhura qissa

tera khat ahd-e-guzashta ko bhi dohraata hai
jab mere nam tere pyar ka khat aata hai

aaya khat tera umidon ka farishta ban kar
ya ki aaya meri qismat ka nawishta ban kar

samne aaya hai jo ahd-e-guzishta ban kar
tera khat mujh ko teri yaad mein rulwata hai

jab mere nam tere pyar ka khat aata hai
yaad hain ab bhi tere pyar ki baaten mujh ko

yaad hain sari mohabbat ki wo ghaten mujh ko
yaad hain wasl ki wo chandni raaten mujh ko

yaad hain ishq mein khai hui maten mujh ko
tera khat phir wahi ehsas jaga jata hai

jab mere nam tere pyar ka khat aata hai
