a sher

Mehfil mein teri mera raqeeb bhi to ho

Izhaar e ishq ka lutf in saada dilon mein kya

Dont Talk. Just Text.

A word that doesn’t come out right

Is the one that starts the fight

Said in one, taken in another context

Henceforth don’t talk. Just text

I’ll be waiting by the phone’s screen

Heart a flutter and thumbs twitchy

Emoticons provide an easy subtext

Yes, let’s not talk. Just text

Unshadowed by tone let meaning prevail

when windless our words set sail

Neither are you lost nor am I vexed

If you don’t talk. Just text

Inattention is never a bone and

eye contact no matter of pride

when presence goes , voice goes next

so I tell you don’t talk. Just text

Cool as us, under the sky of separation

And of course when we’re together

Love is a given and needs no pretext

Unspoken words are after all just text.
