kisi khayaal ki sarshaari mein jaari-o-saari yaari mein — Sabir Zafar

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

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

har shakhs bichhaD chukaa hai mujh se
kyaa jaaniye kis ko DhunDhtaa huun

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

ghair ho koi to us se khul ke baatein kijiye
doston kaa doston se hi gila achchhaa nahin

urdu hai jis kaa naam hamaari zabaan hai
duniyaa ki har zabaan se pyaari zabaan hai

ek dard ki lazzat barqaraar rakhne ko
kuchh latif jazbon ki khuun se aabyaari ki

maqaam 'faiz' koi raah mein jachaa hi nahin
jo ku-e-yaar se nikle to su-e-daar chale

ai dil phir un se dosti ki
o khaana-kharaab phir vahi ki
