apni marzi se bhi ham ne kaam kar Daale hain kuchh — Zafar Iqbal

yuun mohabbat se na de meri mohabbat kaa javaab
ye sazaa sakht hai thoDi si riaayat kar de

yuun bhi hotaa hai ki yak dam koi achchhaa lag jaae
baat kuchh bhi na ho aur dil mein tamaashaa lag jaae

kyaa khabar jis kaa yahaan itnaa uDaate hain mazaaq
khud hamein bhi kabhi is rang mein Dhalnaa paD jaae

haath pair aap hi main maar rahaa huun filhaal
Dubte ko abhi tinke kaa sahaaraa kam hai

aakhir 'zafar' huaa huun manzar se khud hi ghaaeb
uslub-e-khaas apnaa main aam karte karte

raaste hain khule hue saare
phir bhi ye zindagi ruki hui hai

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

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
