uTh aur phir se rawana ho Dar ziyaada nahin

uTh aur phir se ravāna ho Dar ziyāda nahīñ

bahut kaThin sahī manzil safar ziyāda nahīñ

bayāñ meñ apne sadāqat kī hai kamī varna

ye raaz kyā hai ki is par asar ziyāda nahīñ

mujhe ḳharāb kiyā us ne haañ kiyā hogā

usī se pūchhiye mujh ko ḳhabar ziyāda nahīñ

sunā hai vo mire baare meñ sochtā hai bahut

ḳhabar to hai hī magar mo'atabar ziyāda nahīñ

ye justujū to rahe kaun hai vo kaisā hai

surāġh kuchh to malegā agar ziyāda nahīñ

abhī ravāna huuñ yaksūī se maiñ dasht-ba-dasht

ki rahguzār-e-safar meñ shajar ziyāda nahīñ

jabhī to ḳhār-e-dil-e-dostāñ nahīñ huuñ abhī

ki aib mujh meñ bahut haiñ hunar ziyāda nahīñ

dinoñ kī baat hai ab kīmiyā-garī apnī

ki rah ga.ī hai zarā sī kasar ziyāda nahīñ

'zafar' ham aap ko gumrāh to nahīñ kahte

yahī ki haiñ bhī agar raah par ziyāda nahīñ

uTh aur phir se rawana ho Dar ziyaada nahin

bahut kaThin sahi manzil safar ziyaada nahin

bayan mein apne sadaqat ki hai kami warna

ye raaz kya hai ki is par asar ziyaada nahin

mujhe KHarab kiya us ne han kiya hoga

usi se puchhiye mujh ko KHabar ziyaada nahin

suna hai wo mere bare mein sochta hai bahut

KHabar to hai hi magar mo'atabar ziyaada nahin

ye justuju to rahe kaun hai wo kaisa hai

suragh kuchh to malega agar ziyaada nahin

abhi rawana hun yaksui se main dasht-ba-dasht

ki rahguzar-e-safar mein shajar ziyaada nahin

jabhi to KHar-e-dil-e-dostan nahin hun abhi

ki aib mujh mein bahut hain hunar ziyaada nahin

dinon ki baat hai ab kimiya-gari apni

ki rah gai hai zara si kasar ziyaada nahin

'zafar' hum aap ko gumrah to nahin kahte

yahi ki hain bhi agar rah par ziyaada nahin
