zinda bhi KHalq mein hun mara bhi hua hun main
zinda bhī ḳhalq meñ huuñ marā bhī huā huuñ maiñ
huuñ muḳhtalif bhī is meñ phañsā bhī huā huuñ maiñ
jo ahl-e-shahr ko kisī sūrat nahīñ hai raas
aisī yahāñ pe āb-o-havā bhī huā huuñ maiñ
āzurda kyuuñ haiñ ab mire shevan pe ahl-e-bāġh
kuchh din yahāñ pe naġhma-sarā bhī huā huuñ maiñ
in bārishoñ kī mujh ko tamannā bhī thī bahut
dīvār se zarā sā miTā bhī huā huuñ maiñ
rahtā huuñ duur us ke dil-e-narm se magar
patthar kī tarah is meñ juḌā bhī huā huuñ maiñ
zinda huuñ phir bhī ek umīd-e-bahār par
pattā huuñ aur shajar se jhaḌā bhī huā huuñ maiñ
rahtā nahīñ huuñ bojh kisī par ziyāda der
kuchh qarz thā agar to adā bhī huā huuñ maiñ
rakhne lage haiñ kuchh nazar-andāz bhī ye log
manzar se apne aap haTā bhī huā huuñ maiñ
ik duur ke safar pe ravāna bhī huuñ 'zafar'
sust-ul-vajūd ghar meñ paḌā bhī huā huuñ maiñ
zinda bhi KHalq mein hun mara bhi hua hun main
hun muKHtalif bhi is mein phansa bhi hua hun main
jo ahl-e-shahr ko kisi surat nahin hai ras
aisi yahan pe aab-o-hawa bhi hua hun main
aazurda kyun hain ab mere shewan pe ahl-e-bagh
kuchh din yahan pe naghma-sara bhi hua hun main
in barishon ki mujh ko tamanna bhi thi bahut
diwar se zara sa miTa bhi hua hun main
rahta hun dur us ke dil-e-narm se magar
patthar ki tarah is mein juDa bhi hua hun main
zinda hun phir bhi ek umid-e-bahaar par
patta hun aur shajar se jhaDa bhi hua hun main
rahta nahin hun bojh kisi par ziyaada der
kuchh qarz tha agar to ada bhi hua hun main
rakhne lage hain kuchh nazar-andaz bhi ye log
manzar se apne aap haTa bhi hua hun main
ek dur ke safar pe rawana bhi hun 'zafar'
sust-ul-wajud ghar mein paDa bhi hua hun main
