Wo Lamha Ki KHamoshi-e-shab Naghma-sara Thi

wo lamha ki KHamoshi-e-shab naghma-sara thi

kanon pe garan dil ke dhaDakne ki sada thi

jis moD pe chhoDi hai sahaaron ki tamanna

kahte hain baDa qahr wahi laghzish-e-pa thi

kyun aaj dhuan ban ke ufuq-ta-ba-ufuq hai

is sans mein kaliyon ke chaTakne ki sada thi

har lamha-e-betab ne DhunDi hain panahen

gunji thi KHamoshi teri aawaz to kya thi

har din ke sahife pe tera nam likha hai

har shab ki jabin tera nishan-e-kaf-e-pa thi

kya kahte ki honTon pe bas ek harf-e-wafa tha

kya kijiye har sans jo tazir-e-wafa thi

uThte hue dekha hai dhuan aatish-e-gul se

kya nikhat-e-barbaad jale dil ki dua thi

kya jaaniye marna bhi rawa hai ki nahin hai

takwin ke lab par mere jine ki dua thi
