Khamoshi Ki Zubaan:

Arz kiya hai…

Takleef to bohot hai zindagi ki raahon mein,
Magar kisise bhi ab koi shikva mila nahi…
Jo toot kar girta raha andar se main,
Us girne ka dard bhi kisi se sila nahi…

Har zakhm ko muskurahat se chhupa kar jee liya,
Yeh aadat bhi ab khud se juda hoti nahi…
Jin logon ne samajhna chaha faqat lafzon ko,
Un logon ko khamoshi samajh aati nahi…

Koyi bina kahe meri khamoshi ko mehsoos kare,
Yeh armaan bhi waqt ke saath dhundhla sa gaya…
Dil ne kitni dafa kisi ki taraf haath badhaya,
Magar har dafa saaya bhi saath chala nahi…

Raaton ko tanhai ka dard aur gehra padhta hai,
Aansu bhi aksar aankhon se dil ke raaz chhupate hai…
Main chup-chaap sab seh leta hoon ab,
Kyuki shikayat ka bhi koi matlab hota nahi…

Har mod par laga koi bulayega mujhe,
Har mod par bas hawa ka rukh hi badalta gaya…
Insaan to hazaaron mile is safar mein,
Par dil ko chhoo jaaye… aisa koi mila nahi…

Sach kahun… mere saath meri tanhaayi hi wafadar nikli,
Woh baitha raha, jab koi aur tik kar baitha nahi…
Khamoshi ki zubaan to bohot gehri hoti hai yaar,
Par is zubaan ko samajhne wala… kabhi mila nahi…

Aur phir bhi main chal raha hoon, dil ke bojh ke saath,
Har raat ko roshni ki talaash mein, andheron ke raah ke saath…
Dil ke kone mein ab bhi ek aas jagi hai,
Kisi aise ko paane ki, jo khamoshi ko samajh jaaye…

Har ehsaas, har aansu, har gehri baat ka,
Mujhe lagta hai, ab bhi intezaar hai…
Ek aise dil ka jo mere dil ki dhadkan samajh le,
Aur meri khamoshi ko, sirf ek pal ke liye bhi, mehsoos kar le…

Khamoshi ki zubaan… kabhi lafzon mein nahi,
Bas dil se mehsoos ki jaati hai yaar, yeh raaz bhi kabhi khula nahi…
