ba-īñ qaid-e-ḳhamoshī bhī ġhazal-ḳhvāñ hama-tan ham haiñ
na pāband-e-zabāñ ham haiñ na majbūr-e-suḳhan ham haiñ

gulistāñ meñ sharīk-e-sohbat-e-ahl-e-chaman ham haiñ
bas itnī baat par kyuuñ qābil-e-dār-o-rasan ham haiñ

javāb-e-zulm detī jā rahī hai apnī mazlūmī
idhar talvār rañgīñ hai udhar rañgīñ-kafan ham haiñ

ḳhizāñ se kab kī buniyād-e-gulistāñ gir chukī hotī
magar ye ḳhairiyat hai zer-e-dīvār-e-chaman ham haiñ

nasheman phūñk kar samjheñ ki sab kuchh phūñk Daalā hai
hijāb-e-gul meñ baiThe bijliyoñ par ḳhanda-zan ham haiñ

agarche bazm meñ ham bhī haiñ lekin farq kitnā hai
vaqār-e-anjuman tum ho vabāl-e-anjuman ham haiñ

ba-in qaid-e-KHamoshi bhi ghazal-KHwan hama-tan hum hain
na paband-e-zaban hum hain na majbur-e-suKHan hum hain

gulistan mein sharik-e-sohbat-e-ahl-e-chaman hum hain
bas itni baat par kyun qabil-e-dar-o-rasan hum hain

jawab-e-zulm deti ja rahi hai apni mazlumi
idhar talwar rangin hai udhar rangin-kafan hum hain

KHizan se kab ki buniyaad-e-gulistan gir chuki hoti
magar ye KHairiyat hai zer-e-diwar-e-chaman hum hain

nasheman phunk kar samjhen ki sab kuchh phunk Dala hai
hijab-e-gul mein baiThe bijliyon par KHanda-zan hum hain

agarche bazm mein hum bhi hain lekin farq kitna hai
waqar-e-anjuman tum ho wabaal-e-anjuman hum hain
