Kitne ba-hosh ho gae hum log

kitne ba-hosh ho gae hum log
KHud-faramosh ho gae hum log

jis ne chaha hamein aziyyat di
aur KHamosh ho gae hum log

dil ki aawaz bhi nahin sunte
kya giran-gosh ho gae hum log

hum ko duniya ne parsa samjha
jab KHata-kosh ho gae hum log

pi gae jhiDkiyan bhi saqi ki
kya bala-nosh ho gae hum log

is tarah pi rahe hain KHun apna
jaise mai-nosh ho gae hum log

shahr mein is qadar the hangame
ghar mein ru-posh ho gae hum log

kitne chehron pe aa gai rangat
jab se KHamosh ho gae hum log

zaKHm pae hain is qadar 'ejaz'
aaj gul-posh ho gae hum log
