shab-e-tarik chup thi dar-o-divar chup the
numud-e-sub.h-e-nau ke sabhi asar chup the
tamasha dekhte the hamare zabt-e-gham ka
musallat ek Dar tha lab-e-iz.har chup the
hava.en chiḳhti thiin faza.en gunjti thiin
qabila baT raha tha magar sardar chup the
girata kaun baḌh kar bhala divar-e-zulmat
ujalon ke payambar pas-e-divar chup the
mata-e-abru ko bacha sakte the lekin
muhafiz sar-nigun the to pahre-dar chup the
nahin hai is se baḌh kar koi tauhin fan ki
ḳharide ja rahe the magar fankar chup the
zamana chahta tha kahani ka tasalsul
magar parde ke pichhe sabhi kirdar chup the
