milne kaa vaada un ke to munh se nikal gayaa — Unknown

meri taqdir mein manzil nahin hai
ghubaar-e-kaarvaan hai aur main huun

dil TuTne se thoDi si taklif to hui
lekin tamaam umr ko aaraam ho gayaa

duniyaa mein vahi shakhs hai taazim ke qaabil
jis shakhs ne haalaat kaa rukh moD diyaa ho

miri namaaz-e-janaaza paDhi hai ghairon ne
mare the jin ke liye vo rahe vazu karte

ye hamin hain ki tiraa dard chhupaa kar dil mein
kaam duniyaa ke ba-dastur kiye jaate hain

log kaanTon se bach ke chalte hain
main ne phulon se zakhm khaae hain

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

hamaaraa ishq ravaan hai rukaavaTon mein 'zafar'
ye khvaab hai kisi divaar se nahin ruktaa

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne

hasin khvaab ko sachchaa samajh rahaa hai koi
faqat gumaan ko duniyaa samajh rahaa hai koi

ik yaqin-parvar gumaan aur ik hayaat-aamez khvaab
jaise koi aaegaa aur uljhanein le jaaegaa

afsos umr kaT gai ranj-o-malaal mein
dekhaa na khvaab mein bhi jo kuchh thaa khayaal mein
