Alfaz Jo khamoshi samjh na sake

“Yeh nazm un jazbaat par hai jo hum kehna to chahte hain, magar keh nahi paate. .”

Main ne likhe the kuch alfaaz, tere liye khaas,
Har har lafz mein tha tera ehsaas.
Par tu khamoshi ko sirf khamoshi samajhta raha,
Usmein chhupi cheekhon ka matlab kabhi na samjha.

Aankhon mein thi ek toofan ki dastaan,
Par tu sirf muskaan samajhta raha meri jaan.

Main har baar tut kar bhi muskura gaya,
Tere liye khud se bhi door chala gaya.

Alfaaz the lekin zubaan ne saath chhod diya,
Dil chillaya magar tu ne kabhi na suna, kabhi na padh liya.

Har lamha tere liye jeeya tha, tere liye roya tha,
Tu tha ke bas dekhta raha... par kabhi kuch na socha tha.

Mujhe khud se juda kar ke bhi tu poochta hai — "kyun udaas ho?"
Kaash kabhi meri khamoshi se pooch leta, "tum the theek to sahi na?"
