chup rahūñgā to zabāñ yuuñ bhī rahegī bekār

aur boloñ to zabāñ kaaT hī lī jā.egī

kyuuñ na kuchh bol hī luuñ maiñ ki pas-e-qatl-e-zabāñ

ye to afsos na hogā ki zabāñ rahte hue

mujh ko iz.hār-e-ḳhayālāt kī jur.at na huī

mujh se is zulm-o-sitam kī bhī shikāyat na huī

chup rahunga to zaban yun bhi rahegi bekar

aur bolon to zaban kaT hi li jaegi

kyun na kuchh bol hi lun main ki pas-e-qatl-e-zaban

ye to afsos na hoga ki zaban rahte hue

mujh ko izhaar-e-KHayalat ki jurat na hui

mujh se is zulm-o-sitam ki bhi shikayat na hui
