ye bhi mumkin hai ki aankhen hon tamasha hi na ho
ras aane lage hum ko to ye duniya hi na ho
kahin nikle koi andaza hamara bhi ghalat
jaante hain use jaisa kahin waisa hi na ho
ho kisi tarha se maKHsus hamare hi liye
yani jitna nazar aata hai wo utna hi na ho
TakTaki bandh ke main dekh raha hun jis ko
ye bhi ho sakta hai wo samne baiTha hi na ho
wo koi aur ho jo sath kisi aur ke hai
asl mein to wo abhi lauT ke aaya hi na ho
KHwab-dar-KHwab chala karta hai aankhon mein jo shaKHs
DhunDne niklen use aur kahin rahta hi na ho
chamak uTTha ho abhi ru-e-bayaban ek dam
aur ye nazzara kisi aur ne dekha hi na ho
kaifiyat hi koi pani ne badal li ho kahin
hum jise dasht samajhte hain wo dariya hi na ho
masala itna bhi aasan nahin hai ki 'zafar'
apne nazdik jo sidha hai wo ulTa hi na ho
Ghazal
Ye bhi mumkin hai ki aankhen hon tamasha hi na ho
Zafar Iqbal
