mahfil-e-gham mein ziya to hogi
dil jalenge to jila to hogi

kurra-e-arz ko hi laut chalo
sans lene ko hawa to hogi

koi samjhe ki na samjhe lekin
baat honton se juda to hogi

main to is shahr se na-waqif hun
is mein sach baat rawa to hogi

lab to khamosh hain hasb-e-irshad
dil dhadakne ki sada to hogi
