mohabbat soz bhi hai saz bhi hai
khamoshi bhi hai ye aawaz bhi hai

nasheman ke liye betab tair
wahan pabandi-e-parwaz bhi hai

khamoshi par bharosa karne wale
khamoshi dard ki ghammaz bhi hai

hai mearaj-e-khirad bhi arsh-e-azam
junun ka farsh pa-andaz bhi hai

dil-e-begana khud duniya mein tera
koi hamdam koi hamraaz bhi hai

kabhi muhtaj lai ka bhi nahin ye
kabhi naghma rahin-e-saz bhi hai

kabhi to dil hai mahw-e-be-niyazi
kabhi tauf-e-harim-e-naz bhi hai

tarana-ha-e-saz-e-zindagi mein
ek aawaz-e-shikast-e-saz bhi hai
