meri khamoshi ko bhi ek sada samajhte rahe
main kya tha aur mujhe log kya samajhte rahe

hamari nasl ko ujlat ne na-murad kiya
zara se shor ko ye der-pa samajhte rahe

ye dost mere mujhe aaj tak na jaan sake
main ek dard tha lekin dawa samajhte rahe

dikhai deta tha ye shahr meri aankhon se
yahan ke log mujhe aaina samajhte rahe

khayal-e-yar ki chadar thi ek khwab 'aziz'
ye aur baat use hum qaba samajhte rahe
