Kahaan Kahaan Na Tasawwur Ne Daam Phailaye

Kahaan kahaan na tasawwur ne daam phailaye,
Hudood-e-shaam-o-sahar se nikal ke dekh aaye..

Nahin payaam raah-e-naama-o-payaam tu hai,
Abhi saba se kaho un ke dil ko bahlaye..

Ghuroor-e-jaada-shanasi baja sahi lekin,
Suraagh-e-manzil-e-maqsood bhi koi paaye..

Khuda wo din na dikhaye ke rahbar ye kahe,
Chale the jaane kahaan se kahaan nikal aaye..

Guzar gaya koi darmaanda-rah ye kahta,
Ab is faza mein koi qafeele na thehraye..

Na jaane un ke muqaddar mein kyun hai teera-shabi,
Wo hum-nawa jo sahar ko qareeb-tar laaye..

Koi fareb-e-nazar hai ke taabnaak faza,
Kise khabar ke yahaan kitne chaand gahnaye..

Ghum-e-zamana teri zulmatein hi kya kam thin,
Ke badh chale hain ab un gesuon ke bhi saaye..

Bahut buland hai is se mera maqaam-e-ghazal,
Agarche main ne mohabbat ke geet bhi gaaye..

'Hafeez' apna muqaddar 'Hafeez' apna naseeb,
Gire the phool magar hum ne zakhm hi khaaye.!!
