tadap rahe hain jo tufan mere khayalon mein
wo band-e-zabt-o-tahammul se aa na takraen

ubhar rahi hain jo maujen shikast-e-arman ki
wo mera azm-e-musammam baha na le jaen

dahan khamosh zaban chup labon pe mohr-e-sukut
meri hayat ka maqsad hai gham pe gham khaen

khala mein ghur raha hun nuqush-e-mazi ko
ye be-yaqini-e-farda mein gum na ho jaen

khamoshiyon mein yahan ek hashr barpa hai
kahan se dhund ke lamhat-e-pur-sukun laen

jo apni sari umidon ka khun ho jae
qasam se dast-e-sitam ko sukun ho jae
