Ek Bewafa Ko Pyaar Kiya, Haye Kya Kiya

Ek bewafa ko pyaar kiya, haye kya kiya...
Khud dil ko be'qaraar kiya haye kya kiya.!

Ma'alum tha ki ahd-e-wafa un ka jhooth hai...
Is par bhi aitebaar kiya, haye kya kiya.!

Wo dil ke jis pe qeemat-e-kaunain thi nisaar...
Nazr-e-nigaah-e-yaar kiya, haye kya kiya.!

Khud hum ne faash faash kiya raaz-e-aashiqui...
Daaman ko taar taar kiya, haye kya kiya.!

Aahein bhi baar baar bhari'n un ke hijr mein...
Naala bhi baar baar kiya, haye kya kiya.!

Mitne ka ghum nahin hai bas itna malaal hai...
Kyoon tera intezaar kiya, haye kya kiya.!

Hum ne to ghum ko seene se apne laga liya...
Ghum ne hamein shikaar kiya, haye kya kiya.!

Sayyaad ki raza ye hum aansu na pi sake...
Uzr-e-ghum-bahaar kiya, haye kya kiya.!

Qismat ne aah hum ko ye din bhi dikha diye...
Qismat pe aitebaar kiya, haye kya kiya.!

Rangeeni-e-khyaal se kuchh bhi na bach saka...
Har shay ko pur-bahaar kiya, haye kya kiya.!

Dil ne bhula bhula ke teri bewafaaiya'n...
Phir ahd ustuwaar kiya, haye kya kiya.!

Un ke sitam bhi sah ke na un se kiya gila...
Kyoon jabr ikhtiyaar kiya, haye kya kiya.!

Kaafir ki chashm-e-naaz pe kya dil-jigar ka zikr...
Imaan tak nisaar kiya, haye kya kiya.!

Kaali ghata ke uthte hi tauba na rah saki...
Tauba pe aitebaar kiya, haye kya kiya.!

Shaam-e-firaaq qalb ke daagho'n ko gin liya...
Taaro'n ko bhi shumaar kiya, haye kya kiya.!

'Behzad' ki na qadar koi tum ko ho saki...
Tum ne zaleel-o-khwaar kya haye kya kiya.!!
