Gulshan ki faqat phoolon se nahi
   Kaanton se bhi zeenat hoti hai
Jeene ke liye Iss duniya mein
   gumm ki bhi Zaroorat hoti hai

Aae waIz-e-nadaan karta hai 
   tu ek qayamat ka charcha
Yahan roz nighain milti hai
   yahan roz qayamat hoti hai

Woh pur-sishh-e-gumm ko aayein hai
   Kucch keh na sakoon Chup reh na sakoon
Khamosh rahoon to mushkil hai
   keh doon to shikaayat hoti hai

Karna hee padega zabt-e-alam
   Peene hi padeinge yeh aansoon
Faryaad-o-fugaan se ae nadaan 
   Tauheen-e-mohabbat hoti hai

Jo Aake rukke daman pe Sabah
   Woh ashq nahi paani hai
Jo Ashq na chalke aankhon se
   Uss Ashq ki keemat hoti hai
