hamid.

The common polite things you can say are:
please be quiet
please stop talking
please quieten down

More informally (usually with your finger to your lips):
hush, shoosh/shush, sshh

More bluntly/rudely/angrily:
shut up
pipe down
hush up
put a sock in it
shut it
shut your mouth
shut your trap/gob/face
button it
zip it
belt up
hold your tongue
give it a rest
... and there are plenty more!
