bulbul-e-rañgīñ-navā ḳhāmosh hai

baaġh kī saarī fazā ḳhāmosh hai

gul khilā.e us ne kyā kyā baaġh meñ

phir bhī kis darja sabā ḳhāmosh hai

aarzū jin kī thī mujh ko mil ga.e

ab zabān-e-iltijā ḳhāmosh hai

be-kasī ye kis ne lī terī panāh

gor kā kis kī diyā ḳhāmosh hai

shorish-e-dil shorish-e-mahshar nahīñ

zindagī apnī bhī kyā ḳhāmosh hai

sochtī hai jā ke ye barse kahāñ

mere ashkoñ kī ghaTā ḳhāmosh hai

kis ko jiine kī tamannā hai yahāñ

kyuuñ lab-e-mojiz-numā ḳhāmosh hai

husn-e-dilkash kā bhī kyā andāz hai

naaz goyā hai adā ḳhāmosh hai

hai yahāñ 'najmī' usī kā shor-o-ġhul

go ba-zāhir vo sadā ḳhāmosh hai
