Khamosh mahaul mein aaj hum tanhai ki talash karte' hain

Khamosh mahaul mein aaj hum tanhai ki talash karte' hain,
Magar mann hi mann mein hi kuch shor sunne' lage' hain.

Sukoon ki umeed lekar humne' toh aaj tanhai ko gale' lagaya hai,
Magar andar hi andar kisi hulchal ki khabar nahi hai.

Mahaul mein chand ka woh lajawab nazara hai,
Hawa ke' jhonke' bhi jaise'  masti  ke' alam mein hain,
Magar phir bhi jaise' andar hi andar jaise' koi kashmakash si hai.

Sukoon ki aarzoo lekar bas yoonhi baitha hoon,
Ek a ek kuch azizon ne' mujhe' yoonhi yaad kiya.

Unke saath baaton hi baaton mein humne' ab sukoon paa liya hai,
Auron ke' beech hote' hue' bhi tanhai ka kuch alagh andaz bhi dekh liya hai.
