khamosh kali sare gulistan ki zaban hai
ye tarz-e-sukhan aabru-e-khush-sukhnan hai

jo baat ki khud mere takallum pe garan hai
wo teri samaat ke to qabil hi kahan hai

har zarra pe hai manzil-e-mahbub ka dhoka
pahunche koi is bazm tak un ka hi kahan hai

insan ne asrar-e-jahan fash kiye hain
soya hua khurshid hai zarra nigaran hai

'fitrat' dil-e-kaunain ki dhadkan to zara sun
ye hazrat-e-insan hi ki azmat ka bayan hai
