lab-e Khaamosh se afshaa hogaa
raaz har rang me.n rusvaa hogaa

dil ke saharaa me.n chalii sard havaa
abr gul_zaar pe barasaa hogaa

tum nahii.n the to sar-e-baam-e-Khayaal
yaad kaa ko_ii sitaaraa hogaa

kis tavaqqo pe kisii ko dekhe.n
ko_ii tum se bhii hasii.n kyaa hogaa

ziinat-e-halqaa-e-aaGosh bano
duur baiThoge to charchaa hogaa

zulmat-e-shab me.n bhii sharmaate ho
dard chamakegaa to phir kyaa hogaa

jis bhii fan_kaar kaa shaahakaar ho tum
us ne sadiyo.n tumhe.n sochaa hogaa

kis qadar karb se chaTakii hai kalii
shaaKh se gul ko_ii TuuTaa hogaa

umr bhar roye faqat is dhun me.n
raat biitii to ujaalaa hogaa

saarii duniyaa hame.n pahachaanatii hai
ko_ii ham-saa bhii na tanhaa hogaa
