mujhe kharaab kiyaa us ne haan kiyaa hogaa — 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

apni marzi se bhi ham ne kaam kar Daale hain kuchh
lafz ko laDvaa diyaa hai beshtar maani ke saath

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

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

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

chhaae phulon se bhi sayyaad to aabaad na ho
vo qafas kyaa jo tah-e-daaman-esayyaad na ho

yaad karte hain tujhe dair-o-haram mein shab-o-roz
ahl-e-tasbih judaa saahib-e-zunnaar judaa

vo to kahiye aaj bhi zanjir mein jhankaar hai
varna kis ko yaad rah jaati hai divaanon ki baat

kaun suntaa hai bhikaari ki sadaaein is liye
kuchh zarifaana latife yaad kar lete hain ham

in aansuon se bhalaa meraa kyaa bhalaa hogaa
vo mere baa'd jo royaa bhi yaad kar ke mujhe
