so lene do apna apna kaam karo chup ho jao
darwazo kuchh waqt guzaro diwaro chup ho jao

kis kashti ki umr hai kitni mallahon se puchhne do
tum se bhi puchhenge ek din dariyao chup ho jao

dekh liya na aakhir mitti mitti mein mil jati hai
khamoshi se apna apna hissa lo chup ho jao

is viran-sara ki malik ek purani khamoshi
aawazen deti rahti hai mehmano! chup ho jao

aisa lagta hai hum apni manzil par aa pahunche hain
dur kahin ye rone ki aawaz suno chup ho jao

khud ko sabit karne se bhi badh jati hai tanhai
kaun si girhen khol rahe ho sehr-garo chup ho jao

ped purana ho jata hai nae parinde aane se
baat adhuri hi rahti hai kuchh bhi kaho chup ho jao
