kirdaar us ko DhunDte phirte hain jaa-ba-jaa — Zafar Iqbal

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

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

sunaa hai vo mire baare mein sochtaa hai bahut
khabar to hai hi magar mo'tabar zyaada nahin

mujhe kharaab kiyaa us ne haan kiyaa hogaa
usi se puchhiye mujh ko khabar ziyaada nahin

tanhaa rahne mein bhi koi uzr nahin hai
lekin us ke saath hi tanhaa rah saktaa huun

ik dhuup si tani hui baadal ke aar-paar
ik pyaas hai ruki hui jharne ke baavajud
