Chhup... Khamosh rahi woh...

khamosh... nahi tamashbeen hai woh...
tamasha dekha, taali bajai... Sadabahaar hai woh...
12 saalon se sirf khamosh hi to hai woh...
Umar dhal gai, sar se baal rukshat ho chale, khamosh rahi woh...

tamashbeen hai woh...

maa chal basi... baap nahi raha...
chhup... khamosh rahi woh...

main har raat seene pe jwalamukhi rakhkar jaagta raha...
woh gair ke saath soti rahi...
main na jaane kya ulul-julul, bekaar ki baaton ke saath raat bhar manthan karta raha...
woh gair ko baahon mein bharti rahi...
main sochane mein hadhe paar kar gaya...
chhup... khamosh rahi woh...

jab kabhi mera accident hua...
socha... ab to mera haal puchegi woh...
magar...
chhup... khamosh rahi woh...

saari baatein meri padti rahi...
sab meri khabarein rakhti rahi...
main zindagi mein ek-ek seedhi neeche girta raha...
usne thaamna bhi munasib na samjha...
chhup... khamosh rahi woh...

khamosh rehna... tamashbeen bane rehna aadat hai uski...
