Khamosh Safar:

“Har tootne wala insaan kamzor nahi hota…
Kuch log khamosh isliye ho jaate hain,
Kyunki unke dard ko samajhne wala koi nahi hota.
Aur jab apne hi samajhna chhod dein,
To insaan duniya se nahi…
Sabse pehle khud se door hone lagta hai.”

– Zulfikar Abdulrehman Inamdar

Khamosh Safar:

Arz Kiya hai… ke…

Zindagi ki talaash mein hum yun kho gaye,
Ke apne bhi paraaye lagne lage.

Koshish ki thi apnon mein apna banne ki,
Magar apnon ki kadwahat se dil aur door hone lage.

Na jaane kis mod par waqt ne humein badal diya,
Ya shayad waqt ne sirf chehron se naqaab hata diya.
Jinhe apni duniya samajh kar jeete rahe,
Wohi dheere dheere sirf yaadon ka hissa banne lage.

Humne kabhi mohabbat ka sauda nahi kiya,
Na ehsaan ginaye, na wafa ka daam maanga.
Bas jis se bhi rishta joda,
Use dil se apna samjha.

Lekin dil ki zameen bhi ajeeb hoti hai…
Yahan phool bhi wahi ugte hain,
Aur kaante bhi wahi chubh jaate hain,
Jahan hum sabse zyada bharosa karte hain.

Kabhi kisi ne poocha hi nahi,
Ke muskurahat ke peeche kitni khamosh cheekhein rehti hain.
Log chehre padh lete hain,
Magar dil ki zubaan bahut kam log samajhte hain.

Har raat ek naya hisaab hota tha,
Ke aaj kis baat par khud ko samjhaya.
Har subah ek nayi umeed hoti thi,
Ke shayad aaj koi apna humein samajh lega.

Magar zindagi ne dheere se kaan mein kaha…

“Har kisi ko tumhari mohabbat ki qadar ho, zaroori nahi.
Har kisi ko tumhari khamoshi samajh aaye, zaroori nahi.”

Hum thak gaye the sab ko khush rakhte rakhte,
Isliye ek din khud ke paas baith gaye.
Us din ehsaas hua…
Ke sabse zyada zarurat humein apni hi thi.

Na kisi se nafrat hui,
Na kisi se badla liya.
Bas kuch darwaaze dil ke hamesha ke liye band kar diye,
Aur chaabi waqt ke hawale kar di.

Aaj bhi dua dete hain un logon ko,
Jinhone humein rulaya.
Kyunki unhi ki wajah se samajh aaya,
Ke sahara insaan nahi, Allah ki rehmat hoti hai.

Ab tanha chalne se darr nahi lagta,
Darr to sirf jhoote saath se lagta hai.
Khamoshi ab saza nahi lagti,
Ye to Rab se baat karne ka sabse haseen waqt lagta hai.

Ya Allah…

Jab duniya meri khamoshi ko kamzori samjhe,
To Tu meri khamoshi ko meri ibadat likh dena.

Jab log meri muskurahat ko meri khushi samjhein,
To Tu mere aansuon ko apni rehmat se pochh dena.

Jab koi mera haal poochhe bina hi guzar jaaye,
To Tu apni rehmat se keh dena,
“Main tere saath hoon.”

Aur agar meri zindagi ke safar mein ab bhi imtihaan baaqi hain,
To meri himmat ko mere imtihaan se bada kar dena.

Meri zubaan ko shikayat se mehfooz rakhna,
Mere dil ko nafrat se mehfooz rakhna,
Aur meri rooh ko apni muhabbat ka aisa noor ata karna,
Ke toot kar bhi kisi ka dil na todun.

Aakhir jab meri kahani apne aakhri safhe par pahunche…

To log meri kamyabiyon ka zikr na karein,
Meri daulat ka hisaab na karein,
Bas itna kah dein…

“Ye woh insaan tha,
Jo toot kar bhi dua deta raha…
Rota raha, magar kisi ko rulaya nahi…
Aur logon se mayoos hokar bhi,
Apne Rab se kabhi mayoos nahi hua.”
