ba-in qaid-e-khamoshi bhi ghazal-khwan hama-tan hum hain
na paband-e-zaban hum hain na majbur-e-sukhan hum hain

gulistan mein sharik-e-sohbat-e-ahl-e-chaman hum hain
bas itni baat par kyun qabil-e-dar-o-rasan hum hain

jawab-e-zulm deti ja rahi hai apni mazlumi
idhar talwar rangin hai udhar rangin-kafan hum hain

khizan se kab ki buniyaad-e-gulistan gir chuki hoti
magar ye khairiyat hai zer-e-diwar-e-chaman hum hain

nasheman phunk kar samjhen ki sab kuchh phunk dala hai
hijab-e-gul mein baithe bijliyon par khanda-zan hum hain

agarche bazm mein hum bhi hain lekin farq kitna hai
waqar-e-anjuman tum ho wabaal-e-anjuman hum hain
