Wuh Chupi Bat Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Aap kah dete agar hum nahin kah paye wuhi bat,
Ek janam beet geya aur rahi honton mein dabi bat.
Aap se yun to bahut sari suni hayn batein,
Wuh lateefe wuhi qisse ke na jimein thi koi bat.
Shak to in aankhon pe mujhko tha hamesha lekin,
Bas zara khauf tha kanon se jo inne na sahi bat.
Chaunk kar aankhon mein jhanka to nigahein na hateen
Aaj jab aap yeh bole ke sunaen na nai bat.
Aankhon mein aansoo labon per wuh tabassum dekha,
Aaj tak ho na saki thi jo nigahon se hui bat.
Aur keya rah geya baqi ke karein hum batein,
Ruki rahne do jo honton pe hay muddat se ruki bat.
Khol do aaj ki shab jo bhi chupa hay apna,
Khud hi aa jaegi pardon se nikal kar wuh chupi bat
