yun hi sar chadh ke har ek mauj-e-bala bolegi
hum jo khamosh rahenge to hawa bolegi

bolta rahta hai jo aaj sar-e-shakh-e-ana
chup si lag jaegi jis roz fana bolegi

tujh se ummid kise hai meri laila-e-hayat
mahmil-e-naz se kya chashm-e-ata bolegi

wo to rahta hai yunhi apne gulistan mein gum
lab-e-khamosh se kya barg-e-hina bolegi

mausam-e-nara-e-bulbul bhi kabhi aaega
is se mayus na ho khalq-e-khuda bolegi
