Wo ek tarha se iqrar karne aaya tha

wo ek tarha se iqrar karne aaya tha
jo itni dur se inkar karne aaya tha

KHushi jo KHwab mein bhi meri dastaras se thi dur
mujhe isi ka saza-war karne aaya tha

ye saf lagta hai jaisi ki us ki aankhen thin
wo asl mein mujhe bimar karne aaya tha

agar tha us ko meri haisiyat ka andaza
to kyun wo apna KHaridar karne aaya tha

ye zindagi ki jo aasan nahin thi pahle bhi
use kuchh aur bhi dushwar karne aaya tha

agarche ek hi sust-ul-wajud tha lekin
wo kaam koi lagatar karne aaya tha

mere to bas mein koi chiz thi na pahle bhi
wo mujh ko aur bhi lachaar karne aaya tha

wo ek abr-e-giran-e-bar tha magar is din
zara faza ko hawa-dar karne aaya tha

adawaton mein wahan dhar liya gaya hun 'zafar'
jahan ke logon se main pyar karne aaya tha
