ishq mein barbaad hone par pashemani to hai
phir bhi meri qadr-o-qimat us ne pahchani to hai

sans lena bhi jahan mushkil hai is mahaul mein
mujh ko zinda dekh kar logon ko hairani to hai

gham-gusari meri aadat ban gai hai kya karun
dusron ka gham uthane mein pareshani to hai

hath un se bhi milane ke liye tayyar hun
dushmanon se dosti ki baat nadani to hai

kaun si aisi dua hai jo na hogi ab qubul
aankh se aansu rawan sajde mein peshani to hai

shauq hai pur-pech rahon se guzarne ka 'zafar'
warna sidha rasta chalne mein aasani to hai
