‘Hum Lafzon Se’ poem is a heartfelt reflection on the emotional pain behind words and smiles. It explores the depth of unspoken suffering, where a wounded heart chooses to mask its agony with laughter and carefree expressions to prevent others from seeing its true state.
It conveys a poignant message about the struggles of hiding inner turmoil and the resilience required to face life’s challenges with a smile.
It also highlights the resilience of the human spirit, which finds ways to endure pain, turning even the heaviest burdens into a semblance of lightness for the world to see.
Through its heartfelt verses, the poem invites introspections, empathy, and understanding, reminding us all of the unspoken battles that define our shared humanity.
हम लफ़्ज़ों से
हम लफ़्ज़ों से बेआबरू हुए हैं,
किसी को क्या बताएँ।
दिल छलनी हो निकला,
किसी को क्या दिखाएँ।
कोई मुस्कुराहट के पीछे
दिल का हाल न देख ले, नसीमा।
इसलिए बेबाक कहकहे लगाते हैं,
बेवजह ही हँसते जाते हैं।
