chup ho gayaa huun aap ki surat ko dekh kar — Abdul Hamid Adam

saaqi mujhe sharaab ki tohmat nahin pasand
mujh ko tiri nigaah kaa ilzaam chaahiye

ijaazat ho to main tasdiq kar luun teri zulfon se
sunaa hai zindagi ik khub-surat daam hai saaqi

savaal kar ke main khud hi bahut pashemaan huun
javaab de ke mujhe aur sharmsaar na kar

marne vaale to khair hain bebas
jiine vaale kamaal karte hain

mai-kada hai yahaan sukun se baiTh
koi aafat idhar nahin aati

ai gham-e-zindagi na ho naaraaz
mujh ko aadat hai muskuraane ki

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

shaayad zabaan pe qarz thaa ham ne chukaa diyaa
khaamosh ho gae hain tujhe ham pukaar ke

shor-sharaaba rahtaa thaa jis aangan mein
aaj vahaan se bas khaamoshi nikli hai

fazaaein chup hain kuchh aisi ki dard boltaa hai
badan ke shor mein kis ko pukaarein kyaa maangein

baDi hasrat se insaan bachpane ko yaad kartaa hai
ye phal pak kar dobaara chaahtaa hai khaam ho jaae

tere kahne se chup nahin huun main
jaantaa huun ki bolnaa kab hai
