shahar khamosh hai sab neza-o-khanjar chup hain
kaisi uftad padi hai ki sitamgar chup hain

khun ka sailab tha jo sar se abhi guzra hai
baam-o-dar ab bhi sisakte hain magar ghar chup hain

chaar-su dasht mein phaila hai udasi ka dhuan
phul sahme hain hawa thahri hai manzar chup hain

mutmain koi nahin nama-e-amal se aaj
muskuraata hai khuda sare payambar chup hain

laut ke aati nahin ab to sada-e-gumbad
chup hain sab dair-o-haram masnad-o-mimbar chup hain

main jo khamosh tha ek shor tha har mahfil mein
meri goyai par ab sare sukhnawar chup hain
