yehi samandar jo saahilon ki

yehi samandar jo saahilon ki
haddon kay andar

ubal rahay hain
kabhi agar in ki teh mai jhaanko to

moj-e-saakin, saraab-e-raqs-o-sur-o-naghma
yahaan say lay kar wahaan talak bas sakoot-e-tanha

koi bhi shikva-rasaa nahi hay
afsurda chehron, udaas aankhon ki dastaanain

gali gali mai
khmoshiyoon ko jaga rahi hain

meri udaasi hay bay-zubaani
meri udaasi kahaan nahi hay
