Dard ko chupate hain hum
dard dikhane ki adat nahi
khud ashk pee jate hain hum
dusron k ashk bahane ki adat nahi.

Humari dil ki awaz to puhach jati hai un k dar pe,
per shayad unhe dil tak puhchane ki adat nahi.

Na kisi ki hamdardi na kisi ka pyar chahiye
per yun nafrat main jal janey ki adat nahi.

Ashk to aj b un ki yad main beh ate hain
per kisi k peechay par janey ki adat nahi.

Rona to ab adat si hai humari
per ansoon k selab main doob janey ki adat nahi.

Kash nafrat hum b dhar lete unki tarah
per yun pathar dil ban janey ki adat nahi.

Bhulana to chahte hain hum b unhe
per yun kisi ki yaden mitane ki adat nahi.
