Khamoshi gumnaam hai mujhme.

Khamoshi gumnaam hai mujhme
khaab ka koi aant nahiN,
Khoya kya ye dhoondh rahe hain
Kuch paane ka hai iilm nahiN..

Sannata bhi chup lagta hai
Raat magar sunsaan nahiN,
Goonj rahiN dheron awaazeN
Labjon ka bhi anumaan nahiN..

Kya hai tamanna jiski khatir
Bechain bhi hain aur chain nahiN,
Saoo raasteN hain chalte jane ko
par jante hain koi anjaam nahiN...

Bas pankh lage aur udd jati hai
rukne ka fir naam nahiN,
ye soch hai sirf,ya fir hai tamnna
ye jaan sake, aasaan nahiN,

Kab tak jhunjhlate deewano se
Behke behke firte yun rahen,
Jab tak samjhenge kyon haiN pareshaaN
Thehar na jaaeN armaan kahiN.....
