tū apnī āvāz meñ gum hai maiñ apnī āvāz meñ chup
donoñ biich khaḌī hai duniyā ā.īna-e-alfāz meñ chup

avval avval bol rahe the ḳhvāb-bharī hairānī meñ
phir ham donoñ chale ga.e pātāl se gahre raaz meñ chup

ḳhvāb-sarā-e-zāt meñ zinda ek to sūrat aisī hai
jaise koī devī baiThī ho hujra-e-rāz-o-niyāz meñ chup

ab koī chhū ke kyuuñ nahīñ aatā udhar sire kā jīvan-añg
jānte haiñ par kyā batlā.eñ lag ga.ī kyuuñ parvāz meñ chup

phir ye khel-tamāshā saarā kis ke liye aur kyuuñ sāhab
jab is ke anjām meñ chup hai jab is ke āġhāz meñ chup

nīñd-bharī āñkhoñ se chūmā diye ne sūraj ko aur phir
jaise shaam ko ab nahīñ jalnā khīñch lī is andāz meñ chup

ġhaib-samay ke gyaan meñ pāgal kitnī taan lagā.egā
jitne sur haiñ saaz se bāhar us se ziyāda saaz meñ chup

tu apni aawaz mein gum hai main apni aawaz mein chup
donon bich khaDi hai duniya aaina-e-alfaz mein chup

awwal awwal bol rahe the KHwab-bhari hairani mein
phir hum donon chale gae patal se gahre raaz mein chup

KHwab-sara-e-zat mein zinda ek to surat aisi hai
jaise koi dewi baiThi ho hujra-e-raaz-o-niyaz mein chup

ab koi chhu ke kyun nahin aata udhar sire ka jiwan-ang
jaante hain par kya batlaen lag gai kyun parwaz mein chup

phir ye khel-tamasha sara kis ke liye aur kyun sahab
jab is ke anjam mein chup hai jab is ke aaghaz mein chup

nind-bhari aankhon se chuma diye ne suraj ko aur phir
jaise sham ko ab nahin jalna khinch li is andaz mein chup

ghaib-samay ke gyan mein pagal kitni tan lagaega
jitne sur hain saz se bahar us se ziyaada saz mein chup
