Baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisii to na thi

Baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisii to na thi 

Jaisi ab hai teri mehfil kabhi aisii to na thi

Le gayaa chheen ke kaun aaj tera sabr-O-qaraar

Be-Qaraari tujhe ai dil kabhi aisii to na thi

Us kii aaNkhoN ne KHudaa jaane kiya kya jaadu

K tabiat meri maail kabhi aisii to na thi

Aks-E-ruKHsaar ne kis ke hai tujhe chamkaayaa

Taab tujh meiN mah-E-kaamil kabhi aisii to na thi

Ab ki jo raah-E-muhabbat meiN uThaayi takliif

Sakht hoti hameN manzil kabhi aisii to na thi

Paa-E-kubaaN koi zindaaN meN naya hai majnuN

Aatii aavaaz-E-salaasil kabhi aisii to na thi

Nigah-E-yaar ko ab kyuuN hai taGaaful ae dil

Wo tere haal se Ghaafil kabhi aisii to na thi

Chashm-E-qaatil meri dushman thii hamesha lekin

Jaisii ab ho gayi qaatil kabhi aisii to na thi

Kyaa sabab tu jo bigaDta hai ‘Zafar’ se har bar

Khoo teri huur-shamaail kabhii aisii to na thi
