Baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi
jaisii ab hai terii mehfil kabhii aisii to na thii
le gayaa chhiin ke kaun aaj teraa sabr-o-qarar
be-qaraarii tujhe ai dil kabhii aisii to na thii
chashm-e-qaatil merii dushman thii hameshaa lekin
jaise ab ho ga’ii qaatil kabhii aisii to na thii
un kii aaNkhoN ne Khudaa jaane kiyaa kyaa jaaduu
ke tabiiyat merii maa’il kabhii aisii to na thii
aks-e-ruKh-e-yaar ne kis se hai tujhe chamkaayaa
taab tujh meN maah-e-kaamil kabhii aisii to na thii
kyaa sabab tuu jo bigaRtaa hai “Zafar” se har baar
Khuu terii huur-e-shamaa’il kabhii aisii to na thii
