“Har alvida shor se nahi hoti…
– Zulfikar Inamdar
kuch khamoshiyan zindagi bhar goonjti rehti hain…”
Khamosh Jhalak:
Arz kiya hai ke…
Ek jhalak dekh lena mujhko… phir aaraam se chale jaana,
Main awaaz nahi dunga… tum bas palat ke na dekhna…
Na mohabbat ka zikr hoga, na nafrat ka koi sawal,
Jo bhi hai tumhare dil mein… usey chup rehne dena…
Main rukne ko kahunga bhi nahi…
Tum theharne ka vaada bhi mat karna…
Kaun rehta hai kisi ke liye yahan umr bhar,
Sab ko aana hai… aur ek din yun hi chale jaana…
Tum gaye toh shor nahi hoga kahin,
Bas ek khali-pan hoga… jo dheere dheere rooh tak utar jaana…
Main dheere dheere khud se bhi door ho jaunga,
Jaise koi yaad waqt ke saath dhundhli ho jaana…
Tum… kisi aur ki duniya mein muskura lena,
Aur mujhe… apni purani kahani samajh ke bhool jaana…
Agar kabhi yaad aaun… toh yaad ko bhi rok lena,
Kyunki kuch log sirf dard banke hi laut paate hain…
Mujhe dhoondhne ki koshish bhi mat karna kabhi,
Main mil bhi gaya… toh pehchaan mein nahi aana…
Bas aaj… agar mumkin ho, ek baar dekh lena mujhe,
Phir main bhi khamoshi se… apni kahani mita jaana…
Aur tum…
Jaise kabhi the hi nahi hum… waise hi jeete rehna…
