Phir Kuchh Ek Dil Ko Be-qarari Hai
phir kuchh ek dil ko be-qarari hai
sina juya-e-zaKHm-e-kari hai
phir jigar khodne laga naKHun
aamad-e-fasl-e-lala-kari hai
qibala-e-maqsad-e-nigah-e-niyaz
phir wahi parda-e-amari hai
chashm dallal-e-jins-e-ruswai
dil KHaridar-e-zauq-e-KHwari hai
wahi sad-rang nala-farsai
wahi sad-gona ashk-bari hai
dil hawa-e-KHiram-e-naz se phir
mahsharistan-e-be-qarari hai
jalwa phir arz-e-naz karta hai
roz bazar-e-jaan-sipari hai
phir usi bewafa pe marte hain
phir wahi zindagi hamari hai
phir khula hai dar-e-adalat-e-naz
garm-bazar-e-faujdari hai
ho raha hai jahan mein andher
zulf ki phir sirishta-dari hai
phir diya para-e-jigar ne sawal
ek fariyaad o aah-o-zari hai
phir hue hain gawah-e-ishq talab
ashk-bari ka hukm-jari hai
dil o mizhgan ka jo muqaddama tha
aaj phir us ki ru-bakari hai
be-KHudi be-sabab nahin 'ghaalib'
kuchh to hai jis ki parda-dari hai
