Sher 105

maiñ chup rahā ki vazāhat se baat baḌh jaatī

hazār sheva-e-husn-e-bayāñ ke hote hue

main chup raha ki wazahat se baat baDh jati

hazar shewa-e-husn-e-bayan ke hote hue

tamāshā karne vāloñ ko ḳhabar dī jā chukī hai

ki parda kab giregā kab tamāshā ḳhatm hogā

tamasha karne walon ko KHabar di ja chuki hai

ki parda kab girega kab tamasha KHatm hoga

tum se bichhaḌ kar zinda haiñ

jaan bahut sharminda haiñ

tum se bichhaD kar zinda hain

jaan bahut sharminda hain
