taqaza ho chuki hai aur tamanna ho raha hai
taqāzā ho chukī hai aur tamannā ho rahā hai
ki sīdhā chāhtā huuñ aur ulTā ho rahā hai
ye tasvīreñ sadāoñ meñ Dhalī jaatī haiñ kyuuñ kar
ki āñkheñ band haiñ lekin tamāshā ho rahā hai
kahīñ Dhaltī hai shaam aur phūTtī hai raushnī sī
kahīñ pau phaT rahī hai aur añdherā ho rahā hai
pas-e-mauj-e-havā bārish kā bistar sā bichhāne
sar-e-bām-e-navā bādal kā TukḌā ho rahā hai
jise darvāza kahte the vahī dīvār niklī
jise ham dil samajhte the vo duniyā ho rahā hai
qadam rakkhe haiñ is pāyāb meñ ham ne to jab se
ye dariyā aur gahrā aur gahrā ho rahā hai
ḳharābī ho rahī hai to faqat mujh meñ hī saarī
mire chāroñ taraf to ḳhuub achchhā ho rahā hai
kahāñ tak ho sakā kār-e-mohabbat kyā batā.eñ
tumhāre sāmne hai kaam jitnā ho rahā hai
guzarte jā rahe the ham 'zafar' lamha-ba-lamha
samajhte the ki ab apnā guzāra ho rahā hai
taqaza ho chuki hai aur tamanna ho raha hai
ki sidha chahta hun aur ulTa ho raha hai
ye taswiren sadaon mein Dhali jati hain kyun kar
ki aankhen band hain lekin tamasha ho raha hai
kahin Dhalti hai sham aur phuTti hai raushni si
kahin pau phaT rahi hai aur andhera ho raha hai
pas-e-mauj-e-hawa barish ka bistar sa bichhane
sar-e-baam-e-nawa baadal ka TukDa ho raha hai
jise darwaza kahte the wahi diwar nikli
jise hum dil samajhte the wo duniya ho raha hai
qadam rakkhe hain is payab mein hum ne to jab se
ye dariya aur gahra aur gahra ho raha hai
KHarabi ho rahi hai to faqat mujh mein hi sari
mere chaaron taraf to KHub achchha ho raha hai
kahan tak ho saka kar-e-mohabbat kya bataen
tumhaare samne hai kaam jitna ho raha hai
guzarte ja rahe the hum 'zafar' lamha-ba-lamha
samajhte the ki ab apna guzara ho raha hai
