lab-e-khamosh se ifsha hoga
raaz har rang mein ruswa hoga

dil ke sahra mein chali sard hawa
abr gulzar pe barsa hoga

tum nahin the to sar-e-baam-e-khayal
yaad ka koi sitara hoga

kis tawaqqoa pe kisi ko dekhen
koi tum se bhi hasin kya hoga

zinat-e-halqa-e-aghosh bano
dur baithoge to charcha hoga

jis bhi fankar ka shahkar ho tum
us ne sadiyon tumhein socha hoga

aaj ki raat bhi tanha hi kati
aaj ke din bhi andhera hoga

kis qadar karb se chatki hai kali
shakh se gul koi tuta hoga

umr bhar roe faqat is dhun mein
raat bhigi to ujala hoga

sari duniya hamein pahchanti hai
koi hum sa bhi na tanha hoga
