Hon`t be-lafz thhe,nazar khaamosh
baat chup chaap or asar khaamosh

baat karte gaye wo nazro`n se
aur sunti rahi nazar khaamosh

baat aasaan thhi , hui mushkil
wo udhar chup thhe, hum idhar khaamosh

kaun deta nishaan manzil ke
...chup thha har morh or dagar khaamosh

door manzil hai koi baat karo
kat na payega ye safar khaamosh

saans chalti hai kab talaq dekhei`n
dhadkne band hain , jigar khaamosh

kaise samjhega koi `kausar` ko
baat karti wo hai , magar khaamosh !

Poonam `kausar`
