main chup rahaa to aur ghalat-fahmiyaan baDhin — Bashir Badr

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

udaas aankhon se aansu nahin nikalte hain
ye motiyon ki tarah sipiyon mein palte hain

bhuul shaayad bahut baDi kar li
dil ne duniyaa se dosti kar li

khudaa aise ehsaas kaa naam hai
rahe saamne aur dikhaai na de

hasin to aur hain lekin koi kahaan tujh saa
jo dil jalaae bahut phir bhi dilrubaa hi lage

ik shaam ke saae tale baiThe rahe vo der tak
aankhon se ki baatein bahut munh se kahaa kuchh bhi nahin

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

raat yuun dil mein tiri khoi hui yaad aai
jaise viraane mein chupke se bahaar aa jaae

ai zulm ke maato lab kholo chup rahne vaalo chup kab tak
kuchh hashr to un se uTThegaa kuchh duur to naale jaaeinge

vasl ki arz kaa jab vaqt kabhi paataa huun
jaa hain khaamoshi siin tab lab mire aapas mein mil

dafnaa diyaa thaa jin ko gunje hain har taraf ab
meri khamoshiyon ko aavaaz mil gai hai

andar aisaa habs thaa main ne khol diyaa darvaaza
jis ne dil se jaanaa hai vo khaamoshi se jaae
