jo chup raheñ to kasak ho hañseñ to ḳhuuñ Tapke
tirī nazar ne diyā zaḳhm bhī rafū kī tarah
sikhā rahe haiñ vo ādāb-e-mai-kashī ham ko
jo mai-kade meñ chhalakte rahe subū kī tarah
surāġh-e-qatl milā ḳhud adā-e-qātil se
vo rang-e-ruḳh bhī pukārā mire lahū kī tarah
sukūt par bhī vo shāyad biThā.eñge pahre
sukūt bhī to hai ik jurm-e-guftugū kī tarah
tire visāl kī ḳhushbū tire firāq kā rang
mirā vajūd hai ik shahr-e-rang-o-bū kī tarah
hameñ bhī dekh ki ham zindagī ke sahrā meñ
khile hue haiñ kisī zaḳhm-e-ārzū kī tarah
jo chup rahen to kasak ho hansen to KHun Tapke
teri nazar ne diya zaKHm bhi rafu ki tarah
sikha rahe hain wo aadab-e-mai-kashi hum ko
jo mai-kade mein chhalakte rahe subu ki tarah
suragh-e-qatl mila KHud ada-e-qatil se
wo rang-e-ruKH bhi pukara mere lahu ki tarah
sukut par bhi wo shayad biThaenge pahre
sukut bhi to hai ek jurm-e-guftugu ki tarah
tere visal ki KHushbu tere firaq ka rang
mera wajud hai ek shahr-e-rang-o-bu ki tarah
hamein bhi dekh ki hum zindagi ke sahra mein
khile hue hain kisi zaKHm-e-arzu ki tarah
