saaqiyaa muhr-ba-lab kar ke sila kyaa paayaa — Sadiq Bajwa

umr guzri hai magar khud se judaa kar na sake
bhulne vaale tiri yaad mein kyaa rakkhaa hai

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

chup kahin aur liye phirti thi baatein kahin aur
din kahin aur guzarte the to raatein kahin aur

dafnaa diyaa thaa jin ko gunje hain har taraf ab
meri khamoshiyon ko aavaaz mil gai hai

tum hanso to din nikle chup raho to raatein hain
kis kaa gham kahaan kaa gham sab fuzul baatein hain

main chup rahaa ki vazaahat se baat baDh jaati
hazaar sheva-e-husn-e-bayaan ke hote hue

dilon ke mel se aage labon ke silsile saare
jo lab khaamosh hote hain to aankhein baat karti hain
