Maana Ki Tum Lafzon Ke Baadshah Ho Lekin,
Hum Bhi Khamoshiyon Par Raaj Karte Hain!
Jo Afsaane Dil Mein Rehte Hain, Wo Aankhon Mein Nahi Rehte;
Bahut Se Harf Aise Hain, Jo Lafzon Mein Nahi Rehte;
Kitabon Mein Likhe Jaate Hain, Duniya Bhar Ke Afsaane;
Magar Jin Mein Haqeeqat Ho, Wo Kitabon Mein Nahi Rehte!
Kuch Haar Gayi Taqdeer, Kuch Toot Gaye Sapne,
Kuch Gairon Ne Kiya Barbaad Kuch Bhool Gaye Apne!
Dil Behlane Ke Liye Hi Guftgu Kar Liya Karo Janab;
Maloom To Humein Bhi Hai Ki Hum Aapko Achhe Nahi Lagte!
Shayar Bana Diya Adhuri Mohabbat Ne,
Mohabbat Agar Puri Hoti To Hum Bhi Ek Ghazal Hote!
Kaise Kahen Ki Usko BhI Humse Hai Koi Vaasta,
Usne To Humse Aaj Tak Koi Gila Nahi Kiya!
Na Chaho Itna Humein Chahaton Se Darr Lagta Hai,
Na Aao Kareeb Itna Ki Judai Se Darr Lagta Hai,
Tumhari Wafaon Pe To Hai Yakeen Humein,
Bas Apne Hi Naseeb Se Darr Lagta Hai!
Hum Bhi Kar Le Jo Roshni Ghar Mein,
Phir Andhere Kahan Kayam Kare!
Mere Andaaz Wo Samajh Na Sake,
Mere Jazbaat Wo Samajh Na Sake,
Wo Samajh Na Sake Meri Mazboori,
Mere Halaat Wo Samajh Na Sake!
Humne Socha Tha Ki Shayad, Hum Hi Chahte Hain Tumko,
Par Tumhein Chahne Wala To Kafila Nikla,
Dil Ne Kaha Shikayat Kar Khuda Se,
Par Khuda Bhi Tera Chahne Wala Nikla!
