nam-e-tarsil ke soton ko chhupae rakkha
mujh samaat ne sadaon ko chhupae rakkha

ped jalte rahe aawara rahi gard-e-malal
dhup ne abr ki chhanw ko chhupae rakkha

taq tha khwab tha tanhai thi tariki thi
raat ne sirf charaghon ko chhupae rakkha

ishq mein hum ne tamannaon ki wahdat ke liye
ek duje se mizajon ko chhupae rakkha

ai chaman-zad-e-shafaq naz-e-gul-e-sarw-khayal
hum ne khud mein tere khwabon ko chhupae rakkha

ai yaqin-tab-badan teri tarashidagi se
main ne jhadti hui poron ko chhupae rakkha

dhup ujlae mera chehra ki main bhi sochun
sae ne kaise kharashon ko chhupae rakkha
