khuda khamosh bande bolte hain
bade chup hon to bachche bolte hain

suno sargoshiyan kuchh kah rahi hain
zaban-bandi mein aise bolte hain

mohabbat kaise chhat par jae chhup kar
qadam rakhte hi zine bolte hain

nashe mein jhumne lagte hain mani
to lafzon mein karishme bolte hain

ye hum zindon se mumkin hi nahin hai
jo kuchh murdon se murde bolte hain

hum insanon ko aata hai bas ek shor
tarannum mein parinde bolte hain

khamoshi sunti hai jab apni aawaz
to sinon mein dafine bolte hain

main paighambar nahin hun phir bhi mujh mein
kai gum-sum sahife bolte hain

yahi hai waqt bolo 'farhat-ehsas'
ki har jaanib kamine bolte hain
