khamosh hun main lab pe shikayat to nahin hai
fariyaad karun ye meri aadat to nahin hai

jo mauj-e-gham-o-dard uthi hai mere dil mein
hangama to be-shak hai qayamat to nahin hai

shayad mujhe mil jae mere dard ka darman
ummid sahi chain ki haalat to nahin hai

fursat mein mujhe yaad bhi kar lijiye ek din
ye arz mohabbat ki alamat to nahin hai

mil jae sar-e-rah kisi mod pe koi
ek hadsa be-shak hai rifaqat to nahin hai

insaf jise haq ka taraf-dar kahen sab
is mulk mein qaem wo adalat to nahin hai

kyun ghar se nikalte hue darte hain yahan log
is shahr mein qanun-e-hifazat to nahin hai

allah raza par teri raazi hi rahungi
ho shikwa zaban par ye jasarat to nahin hai

aabaad raha dil mein wahi ek 'sabila'
ab ghair ko aane ki ijazat to nahin hai
