na wo puchhte hain na kahta hun main

zabardasti ghazal kahne pe tum aamada ho wahshat

zindagi apni kisi tarah basar karni hai

tu hai aur aish hai aur anjuman-arai hai

abhi hote agar duniya mein dagh-e-dehlawi zinda

mera maqsad ki wo KHush hon meri KHamoshi se

beja hai teri jafa ka shikwa

kuchh samajh kar hi hua hun mauj-e-dariya ka harif

mere to dil mein wahi shauq hai jo pahle tha

ai mishal-e-ummid ye ehsan kam nahin

wo kaam mera nahin jis ka nek ho anjam

bazm mein us be-murawwat ki mujhe

donon ne kiya hai mujhko ruswa

is zamane mein KHamoshi se nikalta nahin kaam

aaghaz se zahir hota hai anjam jo hone wala hai
