Zabaa'n khamosh hai maadoom hogayii aawaz
na jaane kaunse sehra mei'n kho gayii aawaz

purani yado'n ki dehlez per kharha hoo'n mai'n
tamam daamane dil ko bhigo gayee aawaz

bhatak raha hoo'n mai'n kab se sarab ke peeche
qareeb aake bahut door hogayii aawaz

tamam shikwi gile khatm gogaye pal mei'n
phir aaj daaghe judaayee ke dho gayee aawaz

samajh sakega yaha'n kaun aansuuo ki zabba'n
jo dil mei'n dard utha band hogayee aawaz
