khamushi kis ki zabani ho gae
kyun nadamat ki nishani ho gae

ek nazar dali bhari mahfil mein jab
rang mere aasmani ho gae

aakhirash rishta na qaem ho saka
khwab jo dekhe kahani ho gae

sach kaha tu ne ki tere hain magar
lafz sare be-maani ho gae

zikr tera ho saka hum se nahin
ghair teri zindagani ho gae
