na kisi ki aankh ka noor hoon

this ghazal however, not written by zafar and has been wrongly
attributed to him. the author is muztar khairabadi, father of
janisar akhtar and grandfather of javed akhtar, many people
have incorrectly associated it with zafar.

na kisi ki aankh ka noor hoon
na kisi ke dil ka qaraar hoon
jo kisi ke kaam na aa sake
main woh ek musht-e-gubbaar hoon

na to main kisi ka habib hoon
na to main kisi ka raqeeb hoon
jo bigad gayaa woh naseeb hoon
jo ujad gayaa woh dayaar hoon

meraa rang roop bigad gayaa
meraa yaar mujh se bichhad gayaa
jo chaman khizaan se ujad gayaa
main us hi ki fasal-e-bahaar hoon

aye faatehaa koi aaye kyun
koi chaar phool chadhaaye kyun
koi aa ke shammaa jalaaye kyun
main woh be-kasi ka mazaar hoon
