zindagi yun bhi kabhi mujh ko saza deti hai
ek taswir kitabon se gira deti hai
aap achchhe hain bure hain ki faqat bar-e-hayat
faisla KHalq-e-KHuda KHud hi suna deti hai
kitne nadida manazir se uThati hai naqab
raat aati hai to KHwabon ko jaga deti hai
ab bhi mehrab-e-tamanna mein kasak mazi ki
sham hote hi koi shama jala deti hai
ishq hai rog hi aisa ki nahin is ka ilaj
aatish-e-dil ko dawa aur baDha deti hai
sina-e-sang mein poshida sada-e-farhad
ek ek zarb pe shirin ka pata deti hai
jis ki aaghosh mein hum rose mila karte the
ab wahi sham har ek sham sada deti hai
main kahan aur kahan sher-o-suKHan hai 'zakir'
koi taqat hai jo lafzon ko jila deti hai
Ghazal
Zindagi yun bhi kabhi mujhko saza deti hai
Zakir Khan Zakir
