jab bhi wo mujhse mila rone laga

jab bhī vo mujh se milā rone lagā

aur jab tanhā huā rone lagā

dostoñ ne hañs ke jab bhī baat kī

vo hañsā phir chup rahā rone lagā

jab bhī mere paañv meñ kāñTā chubhā

patta patta baaġh kā rone lagā

ābyārī ke liye aayā thā kaun

har shajar murjhā gayā rone lagā

chāñd niklā jab moharram kā kahīñ

chup se dasht-e-karbalā rone lagā

us pe kyā biitī hai apne shahr meñ

āshnā nā-āshnā rone lagā

mere dushman kā ravayya thā ajab

jab huā mujh se judā rone lagā

bādaloñ ne aaj barsāyā lahū

amn kā har fāḳhta rone lagā

dekh kar masjid meñ mujh ko muztarib

mere ġham meñ but-kada rone lagā

thā 'zafar' kā ik anokhā mājrā

ġhaur se jis ne sunā rone lagā

jab bhi wo mujh se mila rone laga

aur jab tanha hua rone laga

doston ne hans ke jab bhi baat ki

wo hansa phir chup raha rone laga

jab bhi mere panw mein kanTa chubha

patta patta bagh ka rone laga

aabyari ke liye aaya tha kaun

har shajar murjha gaya rone laga

chand nikla jab moharram ka kahin

chup se dasht-e-karbala rone laga

us pe kya biti hai apne shahr mein

aashna na-ashna rone laga

mere dushman ka rawayya tha ajab

jab hua mujh se juda rone laga

baadalon ne aaj barsaya lahu

amn ka har faKHta rone laga

dekh kar masjid mein mujh ko muztarib

mere gham mein but-kada rone laga

tha 'zafar' ka ek anokha majra

ghaur se jis ne suna rone laga
