tu apni avaz men gum hai main apni avaz men chup
donon biich khadi hai duniya aina-e-alfaz men chup
avval avval bol rahe the khvab-bhari hairani men
phir ham donon chale gae patal se gahre raaz men chup
khvab-sara-e-zat men zinda ek to surat aisi hai
jaise koi devi baithi ho hujra-e-raz-o-niyaz men chup
ab koi chhu ke kyuun nahin aata udhar sire ka jivan-ang
jante hain par kya batlaen lag gai kyuun parvaz men chup
phir ye khel-tamasha saara kis ke liye aur kyuun sahab
jab is ke anjam men chup hai jab is ke aghaz men chup
nind-bhari ankhon se chuma diye ne suraj ko aur phir
jaise shaam ko ab nahin jalna khinch li is andaz men chup
ghaib-samay ke gyaan men pagal kitni taan lagaega
jitne sur hain saaz se bahar us se ziyada saaz men chup
