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

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

subh rangin-o-jawan sham suhani mange

kabhi saya to kabhi dhup ka manzar badle

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
