bas ek bar kisi ne gale lagaya tha
bas ek baar kisī ne gale lagāyā thā
phir us ke ba.ad na maiñ thā na merā saayā thā
galī meñ log bhī the mere us ke dushman log
vo sab pe hañstā huā mere dil meñ aayā thā
us ek dasht meñ sau shahr ho ga.e ābād
jahāñ kisī ne kabhī kārvāñ luTāyā thā
vo mujh se apnā patā pūchhne ko aa nikle
ki jin se maiñ ne ḳhud apnā surāġh paayā thā
mire vajūd se gulzār ho ke niklī hai
vo aag jis ne tirā pairahan jalāyā thā
mujhī ko tāna-e-ġhārat-garī na de pyāre
ye naqsh maiñ ne tire haath se miTāyā thā
usī ne ruup badal kar jagā diyā āḳhir
jo zahr mujh pe kabhī niiñd ban ke chhāyā thā
'zafar' kī ḳhaak meñ hai kis kī hasrat-e-tāmīr
ḳhayāl-o-ḳhvāb meñ kis ne ye ghar banāyā thā
bas ek bar kisi ne gale lagaya tha
phir us ke baad na main tha na mera saya tha
gali mein log bhi the mere us ke dushman log
wo sab pe hansta hua mere dil mein aaya tha
us ek dasht mein sau shahr ho gae aabaad
jahan kisi ne kabhi karwan luTaya tha
wo mujh se apna pata puchhne ko aa nikle
ki jin se main ne KHud apna suragh paya tha
mere wajud se gulzar ho ke nikli hai
wo aag jis ne tera pairahan jalaya tha
mujhi ko tana-e-ghaarat-gari na de pyare
ye naqsh main ne tere hath se miTaya tha
usi ne rup badal kar jaga diya aaKHir
jo zahr mujh pe kabhi nind ban ke chhaya tha
'zafar' ki KHak mein hai kis ki hasrat-e-tamir
KHayal-o-KHwab mein kis ne ye ghar banaya tha
