kisi zindaan mein sochnaa hai abas — 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

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

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

sochaa thaa tujh se duur nikal jaaeinge kahin
dekhaa to har maqaam tiri rahguzar mein hai

jo mere 'ilm mein nahin aai
vo khataa to mu'aaf ho jaae

husn ik dariyaa hai sahraa bhi hain us ki raah mein
kal kahaan hogaa ye dariyaa ye bhi to socho zaraa

aql kahti hai na jaa kucha-e-qaatil ki taraf
sarfaroshi ki havas kahti hai chal kyaa hogaa
