kaisa makan saya-e-diwar bhi nahin
kaisā makān sāya-e-dīvār bhī nahīñ
jiite haiñ zindagī se magar pyaar bhī nahīñ
uThtī nahīñ hai ham pe koī mehrbāñ nigāh
kahne ko shahr mahfil-e-aġhyār bhī nahīñ
ruk ruk ke chal rahe haiñ ki manzil nahīñ koī
har kūcha varna kūcha-e-dildār bhī nahīñ
guzrī hai yuuñ to dasht meñ tanhā.iyoñ ke umr
dil be-niyāz-e-kūcha-o-bāzār bhī nahīñ
aage baḌhā.iye to qadam aap 'ja.afarī'
duniyā ab aisī vādī-e-pur-ḳhār bhī nahīñ
kaisa makan saya-e-diwar bhi nahin
jite hain zindagi se magar pyar bhi nahin
uThti nahin hai hum pe koi mehrban nigah
kahne ko shahr mahfil-e-aghyar bhi nahin
ruk ruk ke chal rahe hain ki manzil nahin koi
har kucha warna kucha-e-dildar bhi nahin
guzri hai yun to dasht mein tanhaiyon ke umr
dil be-niyaz-e-kucha-o-bazar bhi nahin
aage baDhaiye to qadam aap 'jafari'
duniya ab aisi wadi-e-pur-KHar bhi nahin
