na koi baat kahni hai na koi kaam karna hai
aur us ke baad kafi der tak aaram karna hai
is aaghaz-e-mohabbat hi mein pure ho gae hum to
ise ab aur kya sharminda-e-anjam karna hai
bahut be-sud hai lekin abhi kuchh aur din mujh ko
sawad-e-subh mein rah kar shumar-e-sham karna hai
nishan dena hai main ne kuchh ghubar-alud samton ka
koi kafi purana raaz tasht-az-baam karna hai
badi ke taur par karni hai neki bhi mohabbat mein
ki jo bhi kaam karna hai wo be-hangam karna hai
abhi to kar-e-KHair itna paDa hai samne mere
abhi to main ne har KHas aadmi ko aam karna hai
koi badla chukana hai wafa ke nam par us se
masafat ke liye uThna hai aur bisram karna hai
kamai umr bhar ki hai yahi ek jaidad apni
so ye KHwab-e-tamasha ab kisi ke nam karna hai
ek aaghaz-e-safar hai ai 'zafar' ye puKHta-kari bhi
abhi to main ne apni puKHtagi ko KHam karna hai
Ghazal
Na koi baat kahni hai na koi kaam karna hai
Zafar Iqbal
