ai kaash ḳhud sukūt bhī mujh se ho ham-kalām

maiñ ḳhāmushī-zada huuñ sadā chāhiye mujhe

ai kash KHud sukut bhi mujh se ho ham-kalam

main KHamushi-zada hun sada chahiye mujhe

har shaḳhs bichhaḌ chukā hai mujh se

kyā jāniye kis ko DhūñDhtā huuñ

har shaKHs bichhaD chuka hai mujh se

kya jaaniye kis ko DhunDhta hun

ilāj-e-ahl-e-sitam chāhiye abhī se 'zafar'

abhī to sañg zarā fāsle pe girte haiñ

ilaj-e-ahl-e-sitam chahiye abhi se 'zafar'

abhi to sang zara fasle pe girte hain

na intizār karo in kā ai azā-dāro

shahīd jaate haiñ jannat ko ghar nahīñ aate

na intizar karo in ka ai aza-daro

shahid jate hain jannat ko ghar nahin aate

ye ibtidā thī ki maiñ ne use pukārā thā

vo aa gayā thā 'zafar' us ne intihā kī thī

ye ibtida thi ki main ne use pukara tha

wo aa gaya tha 'zafar' us ne intiha ki thi
