Khamoshi - Hum Ne Dekhi Hai

 Khamoshi - Hum Ne Dekhi Hai

Hemant Kumar, Gulzar, Lata Mangeshkar and flashes of Waheeda Rehman – nothing more need be said.

Hum ne dekhi hai in aankhoon ki mahakati khushboo
Haath se chhuke isey rishton ka ilzaam na do
Sirf ehsaas hai ye rooh se mahsoos karo
Pyaar ko pyaar hi rahane do koi naam na do

Pyaar koi bol nahin, pyaar aavaaz nahin
Ek khamoshi hai sunati hai kahaa karati hai
Na ye bujhati hai naa rukati hai naa thahari hai kahin
Noor ki boond hai sadiyon se bahaa karati hai

Muskuraahat si khili rahati hai aankhon mein kahin
Aur palakon pe ujaale se chhupe rahate hain
Honth kuchh kahate nahin, kaanpate honthon pe magar
Kitane khamosh se afasaane rukey rahate hain

I have seen love’s fragrance blossom in these very eyes
Do not bind it in relations or spoil it with your touch
It is ethereal just feel it through your soul
Let love be love do not give it any name as such

Love is not a sequence of words or of voices
It does listen and it does speak but in silence
It does not burn out nor does it end or stop
It is an eternally flowing luminescence

The eyes are always festooned with a smile
And across the face a quiet glow is spread

The lips are silent, but on the quivering lips
A million tales can be sensed but remain unsaid
