(Intro)
Ha... Khamoshiyan — dhyaan se suno
Raat ka recorder on, dil ka mic low
(Hook / Chorus)
Khamoshiyan bolti hain
Main sunta hoon
Khamoshiyan mein aag
Lafzon se aaj
Khamoshiyan bolti hain
Main sunta hoon
Khamoshiyan mein aag
Lafzon se aaj
(Verse 1) — (16 bars, measured flow, internal rhymes)
Raat ki hawa, khidki ke sheeshe pe lakeer,
Chaand ki parchhai, dil mein bunti ek tasveer.
Aankhon ke kone mein, sannaata gaana gaaye,
Zubaan band, par dil ki dhadkan sab kuch bataaye.
Shabnam si yaadein, palak pe dheere thehri,
Har khamoshi se milke, ek kahaani pehri.
Jeb mein purana qaid, sapne toot ke pade,
Phir bhi main chalun, raah pe roshni leke lade.
Punchline: Khamoshi mera hathyaar, main bolu to jal jaaye sauda,
Jo chup tha wo aaj phatke, lafz mere jaise saudagar ka khuda.
Beat ke beech main double-time, alfaaz kat ke padhe,
Har misra mein chhupa sach, raaton ko jagaye, na ghadhe.
Chaandni ke sheeshe mein, chehra mera dhundla sa,
Khidki ke kinare roz, koi khayal khud ko chundla sa.
Naam nahi chahiye, bas sach ka ujala chaahiye,
Khamoshiyon se lad ke, main apni awaaz paidaa kar jaaun.
(Hook / Chorus)
Khamoshiyan bolti hain
Main sunta hoon
Khamoshiyan mein aag
Lafzon se aaj
Khamoshiyan bolti hain
Main sunta hoon
Khamoshiyan mein aag
Lafzon se aaj
(Verse 2) — (16 bars, more energy, punchlines & dynamics)
Raste kat te rahe, par raaz mere saath chalein,
Khidki ke sheeshe pe khamoshi ne apni lakeer talein.
Raat ki hawa mein khushboo, purani kitaabon si,
Main likhta hoon waqiyat, jo zubaan se anjaane si.
Punchline: Main lafzon ka karigar, par khamoshi meri sabse tez talwaar,
Jab bolun to tod doon andhera — yeh mera izhaar.
Rap ki raftaar mein, main suraag phaad ke daudun,
Sannate ka bazaar ho, main awaaz ki-currency le aaundun.
Beete hue palon ka zikr, par har line nayi blue-print,
Khamoshiyon ke darr se, main dhoondta apna true mint.
Har beat pe saans, low-sub bass ke nichein,
Tabla ka halkasa roll, flute sample se dhoop bichein.
Zehar nahi, seekh hai, dard se nikli ek seekh,
Khamoshiyon ne sikhaya — bolne se pehle jeena seekh.
(Bridge) — (Quieter, vulnerable, sparse instrumentation)
(Production direction: drop to sparse piano, soft tabla taps, hi-hat minimal)
Khamoshiyan chupke se bolti, ankhon se baat karti hain,
Main chup hoon to shayad, yeh duniya mujhse raaz maangti hai.
Na tez snare, bas saans ki dhadkan aur ek flute ka raag,
Aankhon mein aansu, par zubaan pe mera aaj ka iraada saaf.
(Production Notes - Bridge)
Tempo: 90 BPM (85–95 range recommended)
Drums: Boom-bap kick, crisp snare
Low-end: Sub-bass warm and steady
Flavour: Subtle tabla loop under the snare, gentle bansuri/flute sample for Hindi texture
Dynamics: Bridge sparse — remove full drums, keep low pad + finger snaps, then explode back into final chorus
(Final Chorus — Explode)
Khamoshiyan bolti hain (bolti hain)
Main sunta hoon (main sunta hoon)
Khamoshiyan mein aag (aag)
Lafzon se aaj (se aaj)
Khamoshiyan bolti hain — ab main bolta hoon
Khamoshiyan mein aag — duniya ko jagata j
