Sukun

na zahr-e-KHand labon par, na aankh mein aansu

na zaKHm-ha-e-darun ko hai justuju-e-maal

na tirgi ka talatum, na sail-e-rang-o-nur

na KHar-zar-e-tamanna mein gumrahi ka KHayal

na aatish-e-gul-e-lala ka dagh sine mein

na shorish-e-gham-e-pinhan na aarzu-e-visal

na ishtiyaq, na hairat, na iztirab, na sog

sukut-e-sham mein khoi hui kahani ka

tawil raat ki tanhaiyan nahin be-rang

abhi hua nahin shayad lahu jawani ka

hayat o maut ki had mein hain walwale chup-chap

guzar rahe hain dabe panw qafile chup-chap
