Kuch kehne ki aarzoo liye baitha tha

Kuch kehne ki aarzoo liye baitha tha,
Magar khamoshi ne' mujhe' jaise' jakar liya ho.

Aap sabse' kuch haal-e-dil baantne' ki joostajoo liye' baitha tha,
Magar aapko bakhsne' ki soch ne' jaise' meri awaaz ko rok liya ho.

Yeh naa jaane' kya ho gaya hai aaj mujhe',
jaise' kisi ajeeb dastaan ne' mere mann ko kaboo kar liya ho.

Kamaal hai, naa bolte' hue' bhi iss waqt yeh likh kar kuch keh raha hoon,
Jaise' ab koi taaqat mere' armaanon ko kisi qaid se' riha kar raha ho.
  
Kya soch rahe' honge' aap sab?
Aisa sawaal ab mere' saath jaise koi chher chhar kar raha ho.
