karwan sust rahbar KHamosh
kaise guzrega ye safar KHamosh
tujhe kahna hai kuchh magar KHamosh
dekh aur dekh kar guzar KHamosh
yun tere raste mein baiTha hun
jaise ek sham-e-rahguzar KHamosh
tu jahan ek bar aaya tha
ek muddat se hai wo ghar KHamosh
us gali ke guzarne walon ko
takte rahte hain baam-o-dar KHamosh
uTh gae kaise kaise pyare log
ho gae kaise kaise ghar KHamosh
ye zamin kis ke intizar mein hai
kya KHabar kyun hai ye nagar KHamosh
shahr sota hai raat jati hai
koi tufan hai parda-dar KHamosh
ab ke beDa guzar gaya to kya
hain abhi kitne hi bhanwar KHamosh
chaDhte dariya ka Dar nahin yaro
main hun sahil ko dekh kar KHamosh
abhi wo qafile nahin aae
abhi baiThen na ham-safar KHamosh
har-nafas ek payam tha 'nasir'
hum hi baiThe rahe magar KHamosh
Ghazal
Karwan sust rahbar KHamosh
