lab-e Khaamosh se afshaa hogaa 
raaz har rang 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 fan_kaar 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 biitii to ujaalaa hogaa 

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