Yusuf Zafar

saans lene ko hi jiina nahin kahte hain 'zafar'
zindagi thi jo tire vasl ka imkan hota

un ki mahfil men 'zafar' log mujhe chahte hain
vo jo kal kahte the divana bhi sauda.i bhi

zahr hai mere rag-o-pai men mohabbat shayad
apne hi Dank se bichchhu ki tarah mar ja.un

aa mire chand raat suuni hai
baat banti nahin sitaron se

paani ko aag kah ke mukar jaana chahiye
palkon pe ashk ban ke Thahar jaana chahiye

ek bhi aftab ban na saka
laakh TuuTe hue sitaron se

saans lene ko hi jiinaa nahin kahte hain 'zafar'
zindagi thi jo tire vasl kaa imkaan hotaa

un ki mahfil mein 'zafar' log mujhe chaahte hain
vo jo kal kahte the divaana bhi saudaai bhi

zahr hai mere rag-o-pai mein mohabbat shaayad
apne hi Dank se bichchhu ki tarah mar jaaun

aa mire chaand raat suuni hai
baat banti nahin sitaaron se

paani ko aag kah ke mukar jaanaa chaahiye
palkon pe ashk ban ke Thahar jaanaa chaahiye

ek bhi aaftaab ban na sakaa
laakh TuuTe hue sitaaron se
