وہ جو بولیں تو بات جاتی ہے
چپ رہوں میں تو رات جاتی ہے
vo jo bolen to baat jaati hai
chup rahun main to raat jaati hai
دل لگی کا مزہ جب آتا ہے
ہستیٔ بے ثبات جاتی ہے
dil-lagi ka maza jab aata hai
hasti-e-be-sabat jaati hai
خوب آتا ہے لطف آزادی
جب یہ قید حیات جاتی ہے
khub aata hai lutf-e-azadi
jab ye qaid-e-hayat jaati hai
کیا کروں داغؔ وصل میں شکوہ
بات کہنے میں رات جاتی ہے
kya karun Dagh vasl men shikva
baat kahne men raat jaati hai

A short ghazal of Dagh on the radif "jaati hai": if the beloved speaks the lover loses the argument, if the lover stays silent the night slips away, and on the night of union there is no time even to complain. 2 couplets of the original are not included here.
Short quotes only (up to characters): the book stays the author’s. Line breaks are kept — good for couplets.
