jo duniya ko sunaai de use kahte hain khaamoshi jo aankhoñ men dikhaai de use toofaan kahte hain

ab lagta hai theek kaha tha ghalib ne badhte-badhte dard davaa ho jaata hai

maana ki teri deed ke qaabil nahin hooñ main tu miraa shauq dekh miraa intizaar dekh

bansi sab sur tyaage hai ek hi sur men baaje hai haal na poochho mohan ka sab kuchh radhe radhe hai

mat pooch ki kya haal hai meraa tere peeche tu dekh ki kya rang hai teraa mere aage

KHamoshii se musibat aur bhi sangeen hoti hai tadap ai dil tadapne se zaraa taskeen hoti hai

tamannaon men uljhaaya gaya hooñ khilaune de ke bahlāya gaya hooñ dil-e-muztar se pooch ai raunaq-e-bazm main KHud aaya nahin laaya gaya hooñ

dhundooge agar mulkon mulkon milne ke nahin naayaab hain ham jo yaad na aa.e bhool ke phir ai hum-nafso vo KHvaab hain ham

jaise meri nigaah ne dekha na ho kabhi mehsoos ye hua tujhe har baar dekh kar
