wo bhi na khula basta-e-pindar the hum bhi
khamosh tha wo surat-e-diwar the hum bhi

had-bandi-e-ehsas rahi umr-e-muayyan
aur daera-e-kar mein parkar the hum bhi

ai nargis-e-wa-chashm tere auj ke din hain
teri hi tarah dida-e-bedar the hum bhi

hum bhi the unhi mein jo zaban se na phire the
phir khalq ne dekha ki sar-e-dar the hum bhi

aajir se jo ujrat hamein pahunchi yahi pahunchi
jab qasr gira tha tah-e-diwar the hum bhi
