teri ruh mein sannata hai aur meri aawaz mein chup
tu apne andaz mein chup hai main apne andaz mein chup

gahe gahe sanson ki aawaz sunai deti hai
gahe gahe baj uthti hai dil ke shikasta-saz mein chup

sannate ke zahr mein bujhte logon ko ye kaun batae
jitna uncha bol rahe hain utni hai aawaz mein chup

ek muddat se khushk pada hai wo jharna angdai ka
jaane kis ne bhar di hai us paikar-e-naghma-saz mein chup

rag rag mein jab khun ki bunden bulbul ban kar chahak uthin
phir dil-e-'hafiz' kyun kar sadhe sine ke shiraaz mein chup
