Bahut Kuch Kehna tha

Bahut kuch kehna tha tumse, ek baar mauka to deti...

​Mere dil mein dabe toofanon ko, kinara to deti.
Faisla suna kar chal di tum, meri safai sune bina,
Kam se kam meri wafao’n ko, sahara to deti.

​Wo lafz jo honton tak aakar, phir aansu ban gaye,
Un bheege hue alfazon ko, ishara to deti.
Ye khamoshi jo ab humare darmiyan deewar ban gayi,
Ise todne ka mujhe, ek haq to deti.

​Chalo maana ki sath chalna, shayad mumkin na tha tera,
Par bichadte waqt mud kar, mujhe dobara to dekh leti.
Bahut kuch kehna tha tumse, ek baar mauka to deti...
