jasarat ke rahte bhi khamosh hona
hai is ke siwa kya sitam-posh hona

pareshan nahin tohmaton se main lekin
giran hai tumhaara ye khamosh hona

mohabbat mein ilzam lagne do yaro
wafa mein hai jaez khata-posh hona

wahi ek qad-awar jo tashhir mein tha
pur-asrar hai us ka ru-posh hona

meri chahaton ko hawa de gaya hai
un aankhon ka wada-faramosh hona

palak tak kabhi ek qatra na pahuncha
hai aankhon ki qismat bala-nosh hona

sitam hai bala hai qayamat hai goya
bichhadne se pahle ham-aghosh hona
