shab-e-tarik chup thi dar-o-diwar chup the

shab-e-tārīk chup thī dar-o-dīvār chup the

numūd-e-sub.h-e-nau ke sabhī āsār chup the

tamāshā dekhte the hamāre zabt-e-ġham kā

musallat ek Dar thā lab-e-iz.hār chup the

havā.eñ chīḳhtī thiiñ fazā.eñ gūñjtī thiiñ

qabīla baT rahā thā magar sardār chup the

girātā kaun baḌh kar bhalā dīvār-e-zulmat

ujāloñ ke payambar pas-e-dīvār chup the

matā-e-ābrū ko bachā sakte the lekin

muhāfiz sar-nigūñ the to pahre-dār chup the

nahīñ hai is se baḌh kar koī tauhīn fan kī

ḳharīde jā rahe the magar fankār chup the

zamāna chāhtā thā kahānī kā tasalsul

magar parde ke pīchhe sabhī kirdār chup the

shab-e-tarik chup thi dar-o-diwar chup the

numud-e-subh-e-nau ke sabhi aasar chup the

tamasha dekhte the hamare zabt-e-gham ka

musallat ek Dar tha lab-e-izhaar chup the

hawaen chiKHti thin fazaen gunjti thin

qabila baT raha tha magar sardar chup the

giraata kaun baDh kar bhala diwar-e-zulmat

ujalon ke payambar pas-e-diwar chup the

mata-e-abru ko bacha sakte the lekin

muhafiz sar-nigun the to pahre-dar chup the

nahin hai is se baDh kar koi tauhin fan ki

KHaride ja rahe the magar fankar chup the

zamana chahta tha kahani ka tasalsul

magar parde ke pichhe sabhi kirdar chup the
