Ankahee

Kuch baatein honthon tak aakar hi ruk gayi, Tumne pucha nahi, maine kuch kaha nahi। Faasle dono taraf se poore the magar, Safar yeh be-awaz sa hi chal pada. Jaane anjaane hi sahi, tera naam le liya, Jab bhi dil se koi dua ka silsila chala।

Tumse kuch kehne ki chah me, Kitni hi shaamein yunhi dhal gayi. Dil ke kisi kone mein bas ek tu raha, Aur baaki saari duniya badal gayi. Na shikayat hai kisi se, na koi gila, Bas khamoshi ka yeh safar hi humara sila.

Kuch baatein honthon tak aakar hi ruk gayi, Tumne pucha nahi, maine kuch kaha nahi। Bas door se tumhe muskurate dekhna, Yahi shayad mera sabse paak ishq tha, Jise maine kabhi lafzon mein dhala nahi।
