mar gae ai wah unki naz-bardari mein hum
mar ga.e ai vaah un kī nāz-bardārī meñ ham
dil ke hāthoñ se paḌe kaisī giraftārī meñ ham
sab pe raushan hai hamārī sozish-e-dil bazm meñ
sham.a saañ jalte haiñ apnī garm-bāzārī meñ ham
yaad meñ hai tere dam kī āmad-o-shud pur-ḳhayāl
be-ḳhabar sab se haiñ is dam kī ḳhabardārī meñ ham
jab hañsāyā gardish-e-gardūñ ne ham ko shakl-e-gul
misl-e-shabnam haiñ hamesha girya o zaarī meñ ham
chashm o dil biinā hai apne roz o shab ai mardumāñ
garche sote haiñ ba-zāhir par haiñ bedārī meñ ham
dosh par raḳht-e-safar bāñdhe hai kyā ġhuncha sabā
dekhte haiñ sab ko yaañ jaise ki tayyārī meñ ham
kab talak be-dīd se yā rab rakheñ chashm-e-vafā
lag rahe haiñ aaj kal to dil kī ġham-ḳhvārī meñ ham
dekh kar ā.īna kyā kahtā hai yaaro ab vo shoḳh
maah se sad chand behtar haiñ adā-dārī meñ ham
ai 'zafar' likh tū ġhazal bahr o qavāfī pher kar
ḳhāma-e-dur-rez se haiñ ab guhar-bārī meñ ham
mar gae ai wah un ki naz-bardari mein hum
dil ke hathon se paDe kaisi giraftari mein hum
sab pe raushan hai hamari sozish-e-dil bazm mein
shama san jalte hain apni garm-bazari mein hum
yaad mein hai tere dam ki aamad-o-shud pur-KHayal
be-KHabar sab se hain is dam ki KHabardari mein hum
jab hansaya gardish-e-gardun ne hum ko shakl-e-gul
misl-e-shabnam hain hamesha girya o zari mein hum
chashm o dil bina hai apne roz o shab ai marduman
garche sote hain ba-zahir par hain bedari mein hum
dosh par raKHt-e-safar bandhe hai kya ghuncha saba
dekhte hain sab ko yan jaise ki tayyari mein hum
kab talak be-did se ya rab rakhen chashm-e-wafa
lag rahe hain aaj kal to dil ki gham-KHwari mein hum
dekh kar aaina kya kahta hai yaro ab wo shoKH
mah se sad chand behtar hain ada-dari mein hum
ai 'zafar' likh tu ghazal bahr o qawafi pher kar
KHama-e-dur-rez se hain ab guhar-bari mein hum
