naw dariya mein chale samne manjdhaar bhi ho

naw dariya mein chale samne manjdhaar bhi ho
dub jaane ke liye har koi tayyar bhi ho
kaise rokega safar mein koi rasta jab ki
dil mein ek josh bhi ho panw mein raftar bhi ho


sari ummiden isi ek sahaare ki taraf
na-umidi ke safar mein wahi diwar bhi ho
har taraf se nae ilzam ki barish mujh par
apne hone ka ye ehsas-e-gunah-gar bhi ho


jis dua ke liye wo raat kati aankhon mein
wo dua khud se guzar jaane ka aazar bhi ho
fatiha apne gunahon ka bhi padhta hai 'zafar'
zinda ehsas ke ho jaane se bezar bhi ho
