Siskiyaan leti hui ghum-geen hawaao chup raho,
so rahe hain dard un ko mat jagaao chup raho.
Raat ka patthar na pighlega shuaaon ke baghair,
subah hone tak na bolo hum-nawaao chup raho.
Band hain sab maikadey saaqi bane hain muhtasib,
aye garajti goonjti kaali ghataao chup raho.
Tum ko hai maloom aakhir kaun sa mausam hai ye,
fasl-e-gul aane talak aye khush-nawaao chup raho.
Soch ki deewaar se lag kar hain ghum baithe hue,
dil mein bhi naghma na koi gungunaao chup raho.
Chhant gaye haalaat ke baadal toh dekha jaayega,
waqt se pehle andhere mein na jaao chup raho.
Dekh lena ghar se niklega na humsaaya koi,
aye mere yaaro mere dard-aashnaao chup raho.
Kyon shareek-e-ghum banaate ho kisi ko aye ‘qateel
apni sooli apne kaandhe par uthaao chup raho. !!
