Khaki rang ka woh parinda, dikha jo darwaje pe...
Kuch pal ke liye waqt sa ruka, yeh kaun aya ghanti bajake, leke paigam kissi apne ka...
woh dekh mujhe, haske bola...'haan bhai yeh mein hi hoon, janta hoon ab aadat nahi tujhe dekhne ki mujhe, panno mein khat ab hote kaha hai, email ke khirkiyo mein waqt toh duar gaya, magar ehsas woh lifafe ka, andaz woh lavjo ka, woh siahi ki khusboo, jo archies ke letter pads...haan haan janta hoon, ab nahi woh zamana inka...
Tha waqt woh bhi, jab khusi mein tere darwaje leke ata tha, rukh ke do pal, dekhta tha ki khabar kaun si hai...
Phir jab woh julabi rang cha jata tumhare chehre pe, toh kehta, 'Lao baksish meri'...
Woh mohale se guzarta, toh aawaz har ghar se aati...
Woh amma ke khat, beto ka pegaam sab padhwati...
Likh toh tum aaj bhi rahe ho, emails, scraps aur comments...
Magar aaj bhi khat kissi apne ka haat mein ho, toh aashu toh tumhare aakhon se bhi ayege...
Akher mare hua pal ki yaad jo hoon mein...
Chauko mat zinda hoon, koi bhoot nahi mein!
