Khamosh ho kyon daad-e-jafaa kyon nahin dete

Khamosh ho kyon daad-e-jafaa kyon nahin dete
bismil ho to qaatil ko duaa kyon nahin dete

vahashat kaa sabab ruuzan-e-zindaan to nahin hai
mahar-o-maah-o-anjum ko bujhaa kyon nahin dete

ik ye bhi to andaaz-e-ilaaj-e-Gam-e-jaan hai
ai chaaraagaro dard barhaa kyon nahin dete

munsif ho agar tum to kab insaaf karoge
mujarim hai agar ham to sazaa kyon nahin dete

rahazan ho to haazir hai mataa-e-dil-o-jaan bhi
rahabar ho to manzil kaa pataa kyon nahin dete

kyaa bit gai ab ke 'Faraz' ahal-e-chaman par
yaaraan-e-qafas mujh ko sadaa kyon nahin dete
