main yun to nahin hai ki mohabbat mein nahin tha
maiñ yuuñ to nahīñ hai ki mohabbat meñ nahīñ thā
albatta kabhī itnī musībat meñ nahīñ thā
asbāb to paidā bhī hue the magar ab ke
us shoḳh se milnā mirī qismat meñ nahīñ thā
tai maiñ ne kiyā din kā safar jis kī havas meñ
dekhā to vahī raat kī dāvat meñ nahīñ thā
ik lahar thī ġhā.eb thī jo tūfān-e-havā se
ik lafz thā jo ḳhat kī ibārat meñ nahīñ thā
kaifiyateñ saarī thiiñ faqat hijr tak us ke
maiñ sāmne aa kar kisī hālat meñ nahīñ thā
kyā rañg the lahrā.e the jo rāh-ravī meñ
kyā nuur thā jo sham-e-hidāyat meñ nahīñ thā
laġhzish huī kuchh mujh se bhī tuġhyān-e-talab meñ
kuchh vo bhī 'zafar' apnī tabī.at meñ nahīñ thā
main yun to nahin hai ki mohabbat mein nahin tha
albatta kabhi itni musibat mein nahin tha
asbab to paida bhi hue the magar ab ke
us shoKH se milna meri qismat mein nahin tha
tai main ne kiya din ka safar jis ki hawas mein
dekha to wahi raat ki dawat mein nahin tha
ek lahar thi ghaeb thi jo tufan-e-hawa se
ek lafz tha jo KHat ki ibarat mein nahin tha
kaifiyaten sari thin faqat hijr tak us ke
main samne aa kar kisi haalat mein nahin tha
kya rang the lahrae the jo rah-rawi mein
kya nur tha jo sham-e-hidayat mein nahin tha
laghzish hui kuchh mujh se bhi tughyan-e-talab mein
kuchh wo bhi 'zafar' apni tabiat mein nahin tha
