ho chuki hijrat to phir kya farz hai ghar dekhna


ho chukī hijrat to phir kyā farz hai ghar dekhnā
apnī fitrat meñ nahīñ pīchhe palaT kar dekhnā

ab vo bargad hai na vo panghaT na ab vo gopiyāñ
aise pas-manzar meñ kyā gaañv kā manzar dekhnā

jāda-e-gul kī masāfat hī nahīñ hai zindagī
zindagī karnā hai añgāroñ pe chal kar dekhnā

apne muḳhlis dostoñ par vaar maiñ kaise karūñ
koī dushman sāmne aa.e to jauhar dekhnā

pyaas hoñToñ par liye baiThā huuñ sāhil par magar
zid pe aa jā.ūñ to kuuze meñ samundar dekhnā

khiḌkiyāñ khulte hī ham hoñge nishāna vaqt kā
zaḳhm siine par sajānā ho to bāhar dekhnā

mere hāthoñ kī lakīroñ meñ hai gardish vaqt kī
merī qismat hī meñ likkhā thā ye chakkar dekhnā

zindagī bhar Thokareñ khāne se behtar hai 'zafar'
rāsta chalte hue raste ke patthar dekhnā

ho chuki hijrat to phir kya farz hai ghar dekhna
apni fitrat mein nahin pichhe palaT kar dekhna

ab wo bargad hai na wo panghaT na ab wo gopiyan
aise pas-manzar mein kya ganw ka manzar dekhna

jada-e-gul ki masafat hi nahin hai zindagi
zindagi karna hai angaron pe chal kar dekhna

apne muKHlis doston par war main kaise karun
koi dushman samne aae to jauhar dekhna

pyas honTon par liye baiTha hun sahil par magar
zid pe aa jaun to kuze mein samundar dekhna

khiDkiyan khulte hi hum honge nishana waqt ka
zaKHm sine par sajaana ho to bahar dekhna

mere hathon ki lakiron mein hai gardish waqt ki
meri qismat hi mein likkha tha ye chakkar dekhna

zindagi bhar Thokaren khane se behtar hai 'zafar'
rasta chalte hue raste ke patthar dekhna
