Ek khamosh sa lamha hu.n...

Ek khamosh sa lamha hu.n guzar jau.nga
Chaand sitaro.n ki, kisi rahguzar jau.nga

Thaam bhi le tuufan-e-havadis e khuda,
Tuuti hui nafs-o-ja.n hu.n, bikhar jau.nga

Baitha hu.n bas ek sehar kii aas lagi,
Ghup andhera hai, andhere mei.n kidhar jau.nga

Tum kyo.n subakte ho mere gham-e-hayat
Saath le jau.nga tumhe, mai.n agar jau.nga

Na roako, mujhe apni ghami sunane ko
Bohot thak chala hu.n, ke ab ghar jau.nga
