Ye Mulaqaat Mulaqaat Nahin Hoti Hai

Ye mulaqaat mulaqaat nahin hoti hai,
Baat hoti hai magar baat nahin hoti hai..

Baaryabi ka bura ho ke ab un ke dar par,
Agle waqto'n ki mudaraat nahin hoti hai..

Ghum to ghanghor ghataon ki tarah uthte hain,
Zabt ka dasht hai barsaat nahin hoti hai.. 

Ye mera tajraba hai husn koi chaal chale,
Baazi-e-ishq kabhi maat nahin hoti hai..

Wasl hai naam hum-aahangi o yak-rangi ka,
Wasl mein koi buri baat nahin hoti hai..

Hijr tanhaai hai suraj hai sawa neze par,
Din hi rahta hai yahaan raat nahin hoti hai..

Zabt-e-girya kabhi karta hun to farmate hain,
Aaj kya baat hai barsaat nahin hoti hai..

Mujhe Allah ki qasam sheyr mein tahseen-e-butaa'n,
Main jo karta hun meri zaat nahin hoti hai..

Fikr-e-takhleeq-e-sukhan masnad-e-raahat pe 'Hafeez',
Baais-e-kashf-o-karamaat nahin hoti hai.!!
