is tarah tut kar gira pani
baadalon mein nahin bacha pani

ghar banaya to tha bulandi par
phir bhi aangan mein bhar gaya pani

lad-jhagad kar kabhi to aag bana
aur kabhi barf ban gaya gaya pani

mujh ko apne hi shahr ka yaro
ras aaya nahin hawa pani

log diwana-war tut pade
muddaton baad jab mila pani

hath thame hue hawaon ka
raste mein hamein mila pani

ek bhi bund khet ko na mili
sab hawaon ne pi liya pani

le ke chullu mein main ne phenk diya
munh mera dekhta raha pani

muddaton se main tishna-lab tha 'zafar'
phir bhi sab ko pila diya pani
