qahqahon ki zad se ye gauhar chhupa
apni daulat sab se chashm-e-tar chhupa

aag barsegi abhi kuchh der mein
chhod meri fikr apna sar chhupa

wusat-e-alam mein gunjaish nahin
mujh ko apni zat ke andar chhupa

kaam aaega bure auqat mein
khana-e-dil mein zara sa shar chhupa

us khamoshi ko samajh lun ehtiram
ya tere dil mein hai mera dar chhupa

apni shakhsiyyat ki 'jamid' laj rakh
jo pas-e-parda hai wo manzar chhupa
