silent , whispering and walking words

 I don't know why I always wander and come back to Faiz , it seems he has the art to find the perfect words which he can just touch and bring to life, who can than whisper in my ears and sometimes also talk aloud, and can further walk into my life n find their space.... ....a toast to life, a toast to those silent, whispering and talking words which can walk down n occupy my life...!

vo log bahut khush_qismat the

jo ishq ko kaam samajhate the

yaa kaam se aashiqii karate the

ham jiite jii masaruuf rahe

kuchh ishq kiyaa kuchh kaam kiyaa

kaam ishq ke aad’de aataa rahaa

aur ishq se kaam ulajhataa rahaa

phir aakhir tang aakar ham ne

dono.kko adhuuraa chhod diyaa
