chain kab aata hai ghar mein tere diwane ko
phir liye jati hai wahshat mujhe virane ko

tum mitate ho jo mujh ko to samajh lo ye bhi
shama roti hai bahut mar ke parwane ko

hai agar aish kisi ko to bala se apni
hum to paida hue hain ranj-o-alam khane ko

khud bhi suli pe chadha yar ko ruswa bhi kiya
kya kahe ab koi mansur se diwane ko

bu haqiqat ki na ho to gul-e-mazmun kya hai
phul kaghaz ka hai ek dekhne dikhlane ko

nam ko bhi na kisi aankh se aansu nikla
shama mahfil mein jalati rahi parwane ko

koi hamdard nahin apna zamane mein 'zafar'
aazma dekha hai har apne ko begane ko
