Chup Rehtay

Chup rehtey tu dum ghut'ta aur dard siwa hota,
Kuch munh sey nikal jata tu koi khafa hota,

Ye soch k hum phir bhi bethey rahey mehfil main,
Hum uth k chaley aatey tu aur bura hota,

Tarkash main jo baaqi hay wo teer bhi kyu rakha,
Jo kuch bhi irada tha, pora tu kya hota,

Hum dill main jaga detey, seene sey laga letey,
Jo teer tumhara tha, wo kaise khata hota,

Tum hum pe jafa karte, hum tum ko dua detey,
Be-los mohabbat ka kuch huq tu ata hota,

Apas ki shikr-runji ka ghairoo.n sey kya rishta,
Shikwa tumhain karna tha, tu hum sey kya hota,

Wo jab bhi zara rotha, chup bethey rahey hum bhi,
Ik baar mana letey, tu roz khafa hota,

Iqbaal sey kal tum nay jis lehjey main baatain keen,
Wo uth k chala jata mehfil sey, tu kya hota,
