jagne walo jagte rahna kuchh mat kahna
jagte rahne ka dukh sahna kuchh mat kahna

har mausam mein jhulne wali in banhon mein
kaise utra hai ye gahna kuchh mat kahna

tu ne chup ka haar ai dariya git gale mein
kab pahna aur kaise pahna kuchh mat kahna

main bhi tere sahil par khamosh khada hun
tu bhi chupke-chupke bahna kuchh mat kahna

duri ke sadme ko ai dil wasl ki shab tak
main bhi sahunga tu bhi sahna kuchh mat kahna

ek samundar mein pyasa hai ek sahra mein
ye hai apna apna gahna kuchh mat kahna

din bita ya jag bita hai ‘khalish-muzaffar'
‘khalish-muzaffar' kuchh mat kahna kuchh mat kahna
