Khamosh Is Tarah Se Na Jal Kar dhuan Utha

Poet

khamosh is tarah se na jal kar dhuan utha

ai shama kuchh to bol kabhi to zaban utha

but ban ke chupke fitne na yuun meri jaan utha

munh men agar zaban hai to lutf-e-zaban utha

hai koson duur manzil-e-anjam-e-guftugu

tezi ke saath apne qadam ai zaban utha

dar hai yahi ki kashti-e-mazmun na duub jaae

rah rah ke itni maujen na bahr-e-zaban utha

ab daur men hai rindon ke paimana-e-kalam

phir aa gai bahar phir abr-e-zaban utha

kar is qadar na zauq-e-takallum ko sharmsar

apna sar-e-niyaz kabhi to zaban utha

kahta hai ‘qadr’ dekh ke tere sukut ko

kuchh faeda kalam se bhi ai zaban utha
