Lafz to banjh hain

lafz to banjh hain jazbon ki qadr kya jaanen
zindagi bar chuke hon to qahr kya jaanen

apne masum gulabon se hasin bachchon ki
ek khoi hui muskan pe kuchh likhna hai

un ki be-jaan nigahon pe mujhe kahna hai
lafz to banjh hain qirtas ke aaine hain

lafz zist ka unwan hain sarmaya hain
phir bhi jazbaat ke akkas nahin ho sakte

KHauf ke shahr mein ehsas nahin ho sakte
nauha-e-gham bhi to ehsas ki jaulani hai

hae ai dil ki yahan KHauf ki virani hai
muntazir man jo khaDi hai ki bahut der hui

mere ghar-bar ki raunaq nahin aaya ab tak
lafz mein DhunD rahi hun ki use kaise kahun

tera masum shahidon mein likha aaya
nam apna jo bahut pyar se rakha tu ne

TuT kar dur kahin ja ke ki gira hai wo shajar
jis ko din-raat mohabbat se sanwara tu ne

lafz to banjh hain jazbaat nahin kah sakte
waqt ke war ko us par nahin sah sakte
