hum ne zahir kiya sukhan mein bahut
shor baqi hai kyun badan mein bahut

kaun aaya hai is kharabe mein
raushni hai kahin badan mein bahut

koi aawaz kyun nahin aati
hu ka aalam hai kyun badan mein bahut

phadphadane ki aa rahi hai sada
kaun bechain hai badan mein bahut

hai zamin se zamin tak parwaz
khak uthti hai pairahan mein bahut

rang-o-bu hi nahin faqat aabaad
khun apna bhi hai chaman mein bahut

maslahat hai ki buzdili 'hamdam'
khamushi aa gai sukhan mein bahut
