lab-e Khaamosh se afshaa hogaa 
raaz har ra.ng me.n rusvaa hogaa 

dil ke saharaa me.n chalii sard havaa 
abr gul_zaar pe barasaa hogaa 

tum nahii.n the to sar-e-baam-e-Khayaal 
yaad kaa ko_ii sitaaraa hogaa 

kis tavaqqo pe kisii ko dekhe.n 
ko_ii tum se bhii hasii.n kyaa hogaa 

ziinat-e-halqaa-e-aaGosh bano 
duur baiThoge to charchaa hogaa 

zulmat-e-shab me.n bhii sharmaate ho 
dard chamakegaa to phir kyaa hogaa 

jis bhii fanakaar kaa shaahakaar ho tum 
us ne sadiyo.n tumhe.n sochaa hogaa 

kis qadar karb se chaTakii hai kalii 
shaaKh se gul ko_ii TuuTaa hogaa 

umr bhar roye faqat is dhun me.n 
raat bhiigii to ujaalaa hogaa 

saarii duniyaa hame.n pehachaanatii hai 
ko_ii ham-saa bhii na tanhaa hogaa
