Sabir Zafar
chhane honge sahra jis ne vo hi jaan saka hoga
miTTi men ham jaise mile hain kam koi ḳhaak hua hoga
ulTe sidhe girte-paḌte chal paḌte hain is liye ham
manzil par le jaane vaala koi to naqsh-e-pa hoga
itni saj-dhaj se jo chale the qafile vo hain Thahar ga.e
hoga hava-e-sahra jaisa aage jo bhi gaya hoga
kuchh hone se an-hone se farq to paḌne vaala nahin
ho nahin paaya ab tak kuchh bhi hoga bhi to kya hoga
muḌ ke jo aa nahin paaya hoga us kuche men ja ke ‘zafar’
ham jaisa be-bas hoga ham jaisa tanha hoga
