khamosh ho kyon daad-e-jafaa kyuun nahiin dete - Ahmed Faraz

khamosh ho kyon daad-e-jafaa kyuun nahiin dete

bismil ho to qaatil ko duaa kyuun nahiin dete

vahashat kaa sabab ruuzan-e-zindaan to nahiin hai

mahar-o-maah-o-anjum ko bujhaa kyuun nahiin dete

ik ye bhii to andaaz-e-ilaaj-e-gam-e-jaan hai

ai chaaraagaro dard badhaa kyuun nahiin dete

munsif ho agar tum to kab insaaf karoge

mujarim hai agar ham to sazaa kyuun nahiin dete

rahazan ho to haazir hai mataa-e-dil-o-jaan bhii

rahabar ho to manzil kaa pataa kyuun nahiin dete

kyaa biit gaii ab ke 'faraz' ahal-e-chaman par

yaaraan-e-qafas mujh ko sadaa kyuun nahiin dete
