Shaayir: Mirza Tariq

"Yeh jo khamoshi hai lafzon ke darmiyaan,
Is mein chhupa hai ek be-awaaz jahan."

Har mod par umeed ke deepak jalaaye rakh,
Toofaano ki aahat mein bhi hosla banaaye rakh.

Kuchh raaste khamoshi se manzil tak le gaye,
Har baat ko labon pe laana zaroori to nahi.

Dil ki basti mein umeedon ka basera hai abhi,
Raat jitni bhi ho kaali, sawera hai abhi.

Khwaabon ki tehzeeb ko zinda rakh ae dost,
Yehi sukhan toh tera apna sarmaya hai.
