log hansne ke liye rote hain aksar dahr mein
log hañsne ke liye rote haiñ aksar dahr meñ
talḳhiyāñ ḳhud hī milā lete haiñ mīThe zahr meñ
pyaar ke chashmoñ kā paanī jab se khārā ho gayā
saarī duniyā ghir ga.ī hai nafratoñ ke qahr meñ
vaqt kahtā hai ubharte Dūbte chehroñ ko dekh
aaj to raunaq baḌī hai hādsoñ kī nahr meñ
jaane ye hiddat chaman ko raas aa.e yā nahīñ
aag jaisī kaifiyat hai ḳhushbuoñ kī lahr meñ
ham ne palkoñ par sajā rakhe haiñ ashkoñ ke charāġh
ek mela sā lagā hai raushnī ke shahr meñ
chand āvāzeñ ta.āqub meñ haiñ 'afzal' aaj bhī
qurbatoñ kā shahd hai tanhā.iyoñ ke zahr meñ
log hansne ke liye rote hain aksar dahr mein
talKHiyan KHud hi mila lete hain miThe zahr mein
pyar ke chashmon ka pani jab se khaara ho gaya
sari duniya ghir gai hai nafraton ke qahr mein
waqt kahta hai ubharte Dubte chehron ko dekh
aaj to raunaq baDi hai hadson ki nahr mein
jaane ye hiddat chaman ko ras aae ya nahin
aag jaisi kaifiyat hai KHushbuon ki lahr mein
hum ne palkon par saja rakhe hain ashkon ke charagh
ek mela sa laga hai raushni ke shahr mein
chand aawazen taaqub mein hain 'afzal' aaj bhi
qurbaton ka shahd hai tanhaiyon ke zahr mein
