Zafar Iqbal
itna thahra hua mahaul badalna pad jaae
bahar apne hi kinaron se uchhalna pad jaae
itna manus bhi hone ki zarurat kya thi
kabhi is khvab se mumkin hai nikalna pad jaae
chhod jaaen jo tumhare sabhi hote sote
aur kabhi saath hamare tumhen chalna pad jaae
duur se dekh ke ham jis ko dara karte hain
kya maza ho jo isi aag men jalna pad jaae
kya khabar jis ka yahan itna udate hain mazaq
khud hamen bhi kabhi is rang men dhalna pad jaae
dil ki ye ab-o-hava itni mukhalif hai agar
aur inhi mausamon men phulna-phalna pad jaae
kaun kah sakta hai badle hue asar ke saath
dekha-dekhi hi tabiat ko sambhalna pad jaae
e’tibar ek dafa aur bhi karte hue phir
inhen vaadon ke khilaunon se bahalna pad jaae
shoala majbur ho dariya pe machalne ko ‘zafar’
kisi din dasht se chashme ko ubalna pad jaae
