ye kahna tha un se mohabbat hai mujh ko ye kahne men mujh ko zamane lage hain

ishq ke izhar men har-chand rusvai to hai par karun kya ab tabiat aap par aai to hai

un ko ye shikayat hai ki hum kuchh nahin kahte

un ko ye shikayat hai ki ham kuchh nahin kahte apni to ye aadat hai ki ham kuchh nahin kahte majbur bahut karta hai ye dil to zaban ko kuchh aisi hi halat hai ki ham kuchh nahin kahte kahne ko bahut kuchh tha agar kahne pe aate duniya ki inayat hai ki ham kuchh nahin kahte kuchh kahne pe tufan utha leti hai duniya ab is pe qayamat hai ki ham kuchh nahin kahte un ko ye shikayat hai ki hum kuchh nahin kahte apni to ye aadat hai ki hum kuchh nahin kahte majbur bahut karta hai ye dil to zaban ko kuchh aisi hi haalat hai ki hum kuchh nahin kahte kahne ko bahut kuchh tha agar kahne pe aate duniya ki inayat hai ki hum kuchh nahin kahte kuchh kahne pe tufan utha leti hai duniya ab is pe qayamat hai ki hum kuchh nahin kahte

ek din kah lijiye jo kuchh hai dil men aap ke ek din sun lijiye jo kuchh hamare dil men hai

tujh se kis tarah main izhar-e-tamanna karta lafz sujha to maani ne baghhavat kar di

sab kuchh ham un se kah gae lekin ye ittifaq kahne ki thi jo baat vahi dil men rah gai

zaban khamosh magar nazron men ujala dekha us ka izhar-e-mohabbat bhi nirala dekha

dil pe kuchh aur guzarti hai magar kya kiije lafz kuchh aur hi izhar kiye jaate hain

izhar-e-ishq us se na karna tha 'shefta' ye kya kiya ki dost ko dushman bana diya

izhar pe bhari hai khamoshi ka takallum harfon ki zaban aur hai ankhon ki zaban aur

zaban dil ki haqiqat ko kya bayan karti kisi ka haal kisi se kaha nahin jaata

koi mila hi nahin jis se hal-e-dil kahte mila to rah gae lafzon ke intikhab men ham

dil sabhi kuchh zaban par laaya ik faqat arz-e-muddaa ke siva

izhar-e-hal ka bhi zariya nahin raha dil itna jal gaya hai ki ankhon men nam nahin

tu ne jis baat ko izhar-e-mohabbat samjha baat karne ko bas ik baat rakhi thi ham ne

achchhi-khasi dosti thi yaar ham donon ke biich ek din phir us ne izhar-e-mohabbat kar diya

ishq hai to ishq ka izhar hona chahiye aap ko chehre se bhi bimar hona chahiye

kis se izhar-e-muddaa kiije aap milte nahin hain kya kiije

hal-e-dil kyuun kar karen apna bayan achchhi tarah ru-ba-ru un ke nahin chalti zaban achchhi tarah the couplet expresses the helplessness of a lover who wants to confess inner feelings but cannot. “state of the heart” stands for deep emotion, and the “tongue not working” is a metaphor for speech failing under the beloved’s presence. the emotional core is shyness mixed with longing: feelings are clear inside, yet words collapse at the moment of encounter.

un ko ye shikayat hai ki hum kuchh nahin kahte

un ko ye shikayat hai ki ham kuchh nahin kahte apni to ye aadat hai ki ham kuchh nahin kahte majbur bahut karta hai ye dil to zaban ko kuchh aisi hi halat hai ki ham kuchh nahin kahte kahne ko bahut kuchh tha agar kahne pe aate duniya ki inayat hai ki ham kuchh nahin kahte kuchh kahne pe tufan utha leti hai duniya ab is pe qayamat hai ki ham kuchh nahin kahte un ko ye shikayat hai ki hum kuchh nahin kahte apni to ye aadat hai ki hum kuchh nahin kahte majbur bahut karta hai ye dil to zaban ko kuchh aisi hi haalat hai ki hum kuchh nahin kahte kahne ko bahut kuchh tha agar kahne pe aate duniya ki inayat hai ki hum kuchh nahin kahte kuchh kahne pe tufan utha leti hai duniya ab is pe qayamat hai ki hum kuchh nahin kahte

mujh se nafrat hai agar us ko to izhar kare kab main kahta huun mujhe pyaar hi karta jaae

tujh se kis tarah main izhar-e-tamanna karta lafz sujha to maani ne baghhavat kar di

aur is se pahle ki sabit ho jurm-e-khamoshi ham apni raae ka izhar karna chahte hain

zaban khamosh magar nazron men ujala dekha us ka izhar-e-mohabbat bhi nirala dekha

main ne puchha tha ki izhar nahin ho sakta dil pukara ki khabar-dar nahin ho sakta

izhar-e-ishq us se na karna tha 'shefta' ye kya kiya ki dost ko dushman bana diya

kiije izhar-e-mohabbat chahe jo anjam ho zindagi men zindagi jaisa koi to kaam ho

zaban dil ki haqiqat ko kya bayan karti kisi ka haal kisi se kaha nahin jaata

koi mila hi nahin jis se hal-e-dil kahte mila to rah gae lafzon ke intikhab men ham

hal-e-dil sunte nahin ye kah ke khush kar dete hain phir kabhi fursat men sun lenge kahani aap ki

hal-e-dil yaar ko mahfil men sunaen kyun-kar muddai kaan idhar aur udhar rakhte hain

dil sabhi kuchh zaban par laaya ik faqat arz-e-muddaa ke siva

muskurae vo hal-e-dil sun kar aur goya javab tha hi nahin

tu ne jis baat ko izhar-e-mohabbat samjha baat karne ko bas ik baat rakhi thi ham ne
