Kiyun Likhu'n? Kis baarey main likhu'n,
Main kiyun likhu'n,
Mairey lafzo'n ki aakhir,
Wuq'at hi kiya hai?

Yeh lafz ...
Jaam ban ke na'n to chalke'n ge,
Na'n kisi bartan mai'n sajaey jaye'n ge,
Na'n kisi dard ka madawa hi honge,
Na'n kisi marham ki patti banayey jaye'n ge.

Kisi baap ka sahara bhi nahin bane'n ge,
Kisi maa'n ki lori main na'n piroy jaye'n ge.
Kisi dil ki dhaaras bane'n ge...,
Na'n kisi dukhiyarey ki aankhun se bahayey jaye'n ge.

Na'n Baghdad hi main goonje'n ge yeh lafz...
Gaza na'n Fallujah main sunaey jaye'n ge.
Kabul main seena sipar honge yeh lafz...
Na'n Dal ki lashu'n sung bahayey jaye'n ge.

Mairey lafzo'n ke akhir...
Wuq'at hi kiya hai?
Main kia likhun Yawar...
Aakhir kiyun Likhun?
Kahan likhun Yawar...
Aakhir kiyun likhun?

Just finished this one. It should need some editing, but right now I like it quite a bit. Does that sound too full of myself? :)

I had actually planned to update Chal Bhaag Chalen, and Chal Bhaag Chalen II, but while the net connection played a fast one on me, Kiyun Likhu'n materialized.

Everything does happen for a reason :)
