Qalumband

Bharum hai zindagani, kehnay ko bohat,
Toh apnay aks ko tum alfaaz bana do,
Jo kehtay kehtay ruk jatay thay kabhi,
Uss kay bayaan ka naya andaaz bana do,
Pholoon, patharoun, khanjaroun,
Sab ko haal-e-dil ka saaz bana do,
Bohat kuch keh kar bhi kuch na kaho,
Khud ko aisa tum ik raaz bana do,
Qalum thaamo, panay bhar bhar kay,
Siski naheen, misray ko awaaz bana do,
Bais-e-sakoon maan kar toh dekho,
Kuch anokha karnay ka javaaz bana do,
Tehus nehus karay jo behus-o-mohabisa,
Toh panoun ko he apna mahaaz bana do,
Likhawhat ki chashni gholo kuch aisi kay,
Kaantoun ko bhi qabil-e-naz bana do.
