Classic Poem

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

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

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

kis tavaqqo pe kisii ko dekhe.n
koii 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 fankaar kaa shaahakaar ho tum
us ne sadiyo.n tumhe.n sochaa hogaa

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

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

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