har shakhs bichhaD chukaa hai mujh se — Sabir Zafar

us se bichhaD ke ek usi kaa haal nahin main jaan sakaa
vaise khabar to har pal mujh tak duniyaa bhar ki aati rahi

ham itnaa chaahte the ek dusre ko 'zafar'
main us ki aur vo meri misaal ho ke rahaa

apni yaadein us se vaapas maang kar
main ne apne-aap ko yakjaa kiyaa

main aise jamghaTe mein kho gayaa huun
jahaan mere sivaa koi nahin hai

shaam se pahle tiri shaam na hone dungaa
zindagi main tujhe naakaam na hone dungaa

duur tak ek khalaa hai so khalaa ke andar
sirf tanhaai ki surat hi nazar aaegi

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa

ijz-o-niyaaz apnaa apni taraf hai saaraa
is musht-e-khaak ko ham masjud jaante hain

khud hi jaane lage the aur khud hi
raasta rok kar khaDe hue hain

ik sadma-e-mohabbat ik sadma-e-judaai
ginti ke do hain lekin laakhon ki jaan par hain
