Chup

Baat ye nahi ki
Baat karne ko kuch nahi hai
Baat ye hai ki ab
Baat karne waale nahi hain

Ab wo log nahi hain jo
Aadhi raat ko din bhar ki baat karte the
Aur subah kehte the “tumhe khwab mein dekha”
Phir din bhar khwab ki tashreer hoti
Zindagi ke masayil idhar udhar ke chutkule
Aur phir raat hoti aur phir baat hoti

Ab koi message nahi karta ki
Tum theek ho?
Tumhare Ghar ke paas hoon
Baarish hone waali hai
Is jagah zaroor jaana
Mujhe naaz hai tum par
Tumhari yaad aa rahi hai

Raatein ab bhi utni bhaari hain magar
Ab koi saath nahi hota
Koi nahi hai sunne waala
Aur sun kar tasalli dene waala
Ki sab theek ho jaayega
Ki main hoon tumhare saath

Baat ye nahi ki
Bohat chup rehne laga hoon
Baat ye hai ki bas
Kisi ko Sunne ki aaadat pad gayi thi
