khamoshi mein bhi goyai bahut hai
samajhna ho to tanhai bahut hai

mera sarmaya yaadon ki haweli
meri khatir ye angnai bahut hai

dubona hai to le chal dur mujh ko
kinare par to ruswai bahut hai

meri gum-namiyan mashhur hongi
tumhaara shahr balwai bahut hai

ye duniya hai ise pahchan 'bismil'
azal hi se ye harjai bahut hai
