tū nahīñ hai to mirī shaam akelī chup hai
yaad meñ dil kī ye vīrān havelī chup hai
har taraf thī baḌī mahkār mere āñgan meñ
apne phūloñ ke liye merī chamelī chup hai
bolte haath bhī ḳhāmosh hue baiThe haiñ
ik muqaddar kī tarah merī hathelī chup hai
bhed khultā hī nahīñ kaisī udāsī chhā.ī
buujh saktā nahīñ koī vo pahelī chup hai
itnā hañstī thī ki aañsū nikal aate the 'sabā'
ye na.ī baat bahāroñ kī sahelī chup hai
