khamoshi ke hain aangan aur sannaaTe ki divaarein — Saleem Ahmed

ye nahin hai ki navaaze na gae hon ham log
ham ko sarkaar se tamgha milaa rusvaai kaa

— Saleem Ahmed

main gham ko basaa rahaa huun dil mein
be-ghar ko makaan de rahaa huun

— Saleem Ahmed

ghar mein kuchh kam hai ye ehsaas bhi hotaa hai 'salim'
ye bhi khultaa nahin kis shai ki kami lagti hai

— Saleem Ahmed

jaane andar kyaa huaa main shor sun kar ai 'salim'
us jagah pahunchaa to dekhaa band vo darvaaza thaa

— Saleem Ahmed

ik aag si jalti rahi taa-umr lahu mein
ham apne hi ehsaas mein pakte rahe taa-der

— Saleem Ahmed

khush-numaa lafzon ki rishvat de ke raazi kijiye
ruuh ki tauhin par aamaada rahtaa hai badan

— Saleem Ahmed

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

— Divyansh Rawat

raat yuun dil mein tiri khoi hui yaad aai
jaise viraane mein chupke se bahaar aa jaae

— Faiz Ahmad Faiz

yaa kahte the kuchh kahte jab us ne kahaa kahiye
to chup hain ki kyaa kahiye khulti hai zabaan koi

— Fani Badayuni

asar bhi le rahaa huun teri chup kaa
tujhe qaail bhi kartaa jaa rahaa huun

— Firaq Gorakhpuri

rone vaale hue chup hijr ki duniyaa badli
shama be-nur hui subh kaa taaraa niklaa

— Firaq Gorakhpuri

chup ho gae tere rone vaale
duniyaa kaa khayaal aa gayaa hai

— Firaq Gorakhpuri
