is baat ko waise to chhupaya na gaya hai
sab ko ye magar raaz bataya na gaya hai

parde ki kahani hai ye parde ki zabani
bas is liye parde ko uthaya na gaya hai

hain bhed kai ab bhi chhupe qaid rapat mein
kuchh nam the shamil so dikhaya na gaya hai

ambar ki ye sazish hai ajab chand ke badle
duje kisi suraj ko ugaya na gaya hai

harfon ki zabani ho bayan kaise wo qissa
likkha na gaya hai jo sunaya na gaya hai

kuchh ahl-e-zaban aae to hain dene gawahi
aankhon se magar khauf ka saya na gaya hai

ye raat hai naraaz jo dekha ki hawa se
do ek charaghon ko bujhaya na gaya hai
