Buhat hum nay tera kaha sun liya
Wo roo-e-sukhan ho kisi ki taraf
Na sunna tha jo bur mala sun liya
Humaree khamoshee ka kya poochhna
Keh jo kuchh bhee sunna para sun liya
Giran goshi-e-ahl-e-duniya na poochh
Ke jaisay mera mudd'a sun liya
Dil-e-durd mund-e-muhabbat ki khair
"Zaman hay nazuk" yeh kya sun liya
Wohi jo muhabbat say be zaar thay
Unhain bhee useer-e-bala sun liya
Na socha na sumjha na dekha mugar
Yaqeen aa gaya jub "khuda" sun liya
Ye sumjho keh dono jahan mil ga-aye
Jo Rahi kalaam-e-Ata* sun liya
* Persian poet Ata Ullah Khan Advocate DI Khan
