hansi mein haq jata kar ghar-jamai chhin leta hai

mere hisse ki TuTi chaarpai chhin leta hai

use mauqa mile to pai pai chhin leta hai

yahan bhai ki KHushiyan us ka bhai chhin leta hai

bhala fursat kise hai jo yahan rishton ko pahchane

ye daur-e-KHud-farebi aashnai chhin leta hai

jahaalat mein wo kaamil hai moallim ban gaya kaise

paDhata hai ki bachchon ki paDhai chhin leta hai

rawa hai us ko har sarqa tawarud ke bahane se

kabhi nazmen kabhi ghazlen parai chhin leta hai

koi qabu nahin chalta ki us ke husn ka Daku

kisi bhi parsa ki parsai chhin leta hai

mera mahbub natwarlal hai kya jo mere dil ko

baDa chaalak hai shagird se ustad hairan hain

ghazal kahte hi wo ban kar qasai chhin leta hai

hum apni qaum ka jab chahte hain rahnuma banna

koi dada hamari rahnumai chhin leta hai

salamat mera sarmaya kabhi rahne nahin pata

na chhine wo to koi x y chhin leta hai

kamai chhoTe afsar bhi kiya karte hain lakhon mein

magar sab se baDa afsar malai chhin leta hai

badan mera ThiThur jata hai us ki sard-mehri se

wo zalim hai mohabbat ki razai chhin leta hai

buDhape ke liye koi raqam jab bhi bachata hun

to beTa hi use de kar duhai chhin leta hai

yahi maghrib ki KHubi hai yahi faizan hai us ka

burai banT deta hai bhalai chhin leta hai

nikalne hi nahin deta kisi ko apne phande se

dimagh o dil se tadbir-e-rihai chhin leta hai

'zafar' tum waqt se Darte raho is par nazar rakkho

ye dil-bar se bhi us ki dilrubai chhin leta hai
