mahke hue gulon ka chaman bolne laga
wo chup hua to us ka badan bolne laga

aanchal hai kahkashan to wo khud bhi hai chand sa
bahon mein meri aa ke gagan bolne laga

tabaniyon mein us ki hai mauj-e-wafa ki gunj
din chup hua to dil ka ratan bolne laga

boli gai thi dard ke mausam mein jo kabhi
phir wo zaban apna watan bolne laga

khamosh rah ke us ne guzari thi zindagi
wo shakhs jab mara to kafan bolne laga

dil ki haweliyon ke hue aaine khamosh
shahr-e-ana mein sang-e-kuhan bolne laga

aahan ke shor-o-shar mein hai 'asrar' wo asar
lahje mein dhun ke aaj ka fan bolne laga
