chup rahe to shahr ki hangama aarai mili

miTte hue nuqush-e-wafa ko ubhaariye

gahra sukut zehn ko behaal kar gaya

main faqat is jurm mein duniya mein ruswa ho gaya

log hansne ke liye rote hain akasr dahr mein

apne mahaul se kuchh yun bhi to ghabrae na the

hawa ke phul mahakne lage mujhe pa kar

jaane ye hiddat chaman ko ras aae ya nahin

ye bhi shayad zindagi ki ek ada hai dosto

wo daur ab kahan ki tumhaari ho justuju
