mere khamosh khuda
sath mere bol zara

mere andar to utar
meri tamanna mein dhadak

main jo aankhon mein
thakan rakh ke safar karti hun

meri raaton ko mere khwab na das jaen kahin
mere andar wo khayalat na bas jaen kahin

jin ko mamnua zaminon ki hikayat kaha jata hai
tirgi par jise likkhi hui wo raat kaha jata hai

jis ki qismat mein kabhi koi sitara na diya hota hai
jis ke mathe pe sawere ka

koi bosa kabhi sabt nahin ho pata
wo jo mahrum-e-tamanna hai dua ka dar hai

mere khamosh khuda!
waqt be-waqt meri aankhon mein

tapte pani ki ye bhadkan kyun hai
mere mathe pe tamanna ka koi rang nahin

phir mere hath ki rekhaon mein
uljhi hui duniya ki kahani kyun hai

wo jo atraf mere
mujh ko nazar aati nahin

mere dil mein wo udasi ki
rawani kyun hai

kaun hai wo jo mujhe
kuk ka an-dekha bulawa de kar

huk ki ot mein chhup jata hai
jo mujhe mere tasawwur ke kisi aks mein

raushan kar ke
aaina-khane mein phir aag laga jata hai

jis ki aankhon mein
mere khwab ke sare manzar

apne hone ki gawahi mein jiye jate hain
wo gawahi ki sahifon mein

jise main ne tilawat to kiya hai lekin
wo gawahi mere hone ki gawahi to nahin

main kahan hun
mera malum kahan hai

kis ne
mere andar mere maujud ko nabud kiya

kaun hai
jo meri rag rag mein jiye jata hai

meri duniya se mujhe mulk-badar rakhta hai
