shahr gum-sum raste sunsan ghar KHamosh hain
shahr gum-sum rāste sunsān ghar ḳhāmosh haiñ
kyā balā utrī hai kyuuñ dīvār-o-dar ḳhāmosh haiñ
vo khuleñ to ham se rāz-e-dasht-e-vahshat kuchh khule
lauT kar kuchh log aa.e haiñ magar ḳhāmosh haiñ
ho gayā ġharqāb sūraj aur phir ab us ke ba.ad
sāhiloñ par ret uḌtī hai bhañvar ḳhāmosh haiñ
manziloñ ke ḳhvāb de kar ham yahāñ laa.e ga.e
ab yahāñ tak aa ga.e to rāhbar ḳhāmosh haiñ
dukh safar kā hai ki apnoñ se bichhaḌ jaane kā ġham
kyā sabab hai vaqt-e-ruḳhsat ham-safar ḳhāmosh haiñ
kal shajar kī guftugū sunte the aur hairat meñ the
ab parinde bolte haiñ aur shajar ḳhāmosh haiñ
jab se 'az.har' ḳhāl-o-ḳhad kī baat logoñ meñ chalī
aa.ine chup-chāp haiñ ā.īna-gar ḳhāmosh haiñ
shahr gum-sum raste sunsan ghar KHamosh hain
kya bala utri hai kyun diwar-o-dar KHamosh hain
wo khulen to hum se raaz-e-dasht-e-wahshat kuchh khule
lauT kar kuchh log aae hain magar KHamosh hain
ho gaya gharqab suraj aur phir ab us ke baad
sahilon par ret uDti hai bhanwar KHamosh hain
manzilon ke KHwab de kar hum yahan lae gae
ab yahan tak aa gae to rahbar KHamosh hain
dukh safar ka hai ki apnon se bichhaD jaane ka gham
kya sabab hai waqt-e-ruKHsat ham-safar KHamosh hain
kal shajar ki guftugu sunte the aur hairat mein the
ab parinde bolte hain aur shajar KHamosh hain
jab se 'azhar' KHal-o-KHad ki baat logon mein chali
aaine chup-chap hain aaina-gar KHamosh hain
