KHamoshiyon ke gahre samundar mein Dub jaen

nama-e-gul mein kisi shoKH ki tahrir ka rang

KHayalon mein bhi akasr chaunk uTha hun

suKHan suKHan jo kisi karb se ibarat tha

hai taqaza-e-junun silsila-war mile

KHud apne aapko dhoka diya hai

kabhi saya to kabhi dhup ka manzar badle

subh rangin-o-jawan sham suhani mange

dil laraz raha hai kyun is ke KHat ko pa kar bhi

main zindagi ke hazaron azab jhel gaya

waqt ke chehre pe chaDhti dhup ka ghaza laga

fareb-e-husn nazar ka dikhai deta hai

pas apne boriya bistar na tha

lafzon mein kaisa rang-e-maani dikhai de
