aur to kuchh hai aaj kaam na kaj

aur to kuchh hai aaj kaam na kaaj

pūchhiye chal ke shā'irī ke mizāj

roz taqrīr kartī hai chhalnī

dekhiye boltā hai kis din chhāj

aur to māntā nahīñ koī

aap hī apne sar pe rakhiye taaj

kabhī qālīn bhī bichhā.eñge

ab to is zard ghaas par hī birāj

kyoñ nikaltā hai baar baar button

kuchh khulā rah gayā hai shāyad kaaj

ḳhuub hai kal ke saath sone se

bosa ek aadh hī sahī par aaj

bhalā aage vo pūchhte kab the

ab jo fehrist se huā iḳhrāj

us Dalī ke to ham nahīñ gāhak

is ghaḌī kā batā.iye alhāj

ab kahāñ jā.iyegā jān-e-'zafar'

hotī jaatī hai gumrahī bhī rivāj

aur to kuchh hai aaj kaam na kaj

puchhiye chal ke sha'iri ke mizaj

roz taqrir karti hai chhalni

dekhiye bolta hai kis din chhaj

aur to manta nahin koi

aap hi apne sar pe rakhiye taj

kabhi qalin bhi bichhaenge

ab to is zard ghas par hi biraj

kyon nikalta hai bar bar button

kuchh khula rah gaya hai shayad kaj

KHub hai kal ke sath sone se

bosa ek aadh hi sahi par aaj

bhala aage wo puchhte kab the

ab jo fehrist se hua iKHraj

us Dali ke to hum nahin gahak

is ghaDi ka bataiye alhaj

ab kahan jaiyega jaan-e-'zafar'

hoti jati hai gumrahi bhi riwaj
