yan KHak ka bistar hai gale mein kafni hai
yaañ ḳhaak kā bistar hai gale meñ kafnī hai
vaañ haath meñ ā.īna hai gul pairahanī hai
hāthoñ se hameñ ishq ke din raat nahīñ chain
fariyād o fuġhāñ din ko hai shab nāra-zanī hai
hushyār ho ġhaflat se tū ġhāfil na ho ai dil
apnī to nazar meñ ye jagah be-vatanī hai
kuchh kah nahīñ saktā huuñ zabāñ se ki zarā dekh
kyā jaa.e hai jis jaa.e na kuchh dam-zadanī hai
mizhgāñ pe mire laḳht-e-jigar hī nahīñ yaaro
is taar se vo rishta aqīq-e-yamanī hai
likh aur ġhazal qāfiye ko pher 'zafar' tū
ab tab.a kī dariyā kī tirī mauj-zanī hai
yan KHak ka bistar hai gale mein kafni hai
wan hath mein aaina hai gul pairahani hai
hathon se hamein ishq ke din raat nahin chain
fariyaad o fughan din ko hai shab nara-zani hai
hushyar ho ghaflat se tu ghafil na ho ai dil
apni to nazar mein ye jagah be-watani hai
kuchh kah nahin sakta hun zaban se ki zara dekh
kya jae hai jis jae na kuchh dam-zadani hai
mizhgan pe mere laKHt-e-jigar hi nahin yaro
is tar se wo rishta aqiq-e-yamani hai
likh aur ghazal qafiye ko pher 'zafar' tu
ab taba ki dariya ki teri mauj-zani hai
