jab talak dar-pesh koi hadsa hota nahin
zindagi kya hai hamein is ka pata hota nahin

sidha rasta dekhne mein yun to hai aasan magar
jab chalo is par to ye aasan sa hota nahin

sab ne pahni hain qabaen shahr bhar mein ek si
kaun kaisa hai yahan is ka pata hota nahin

hai ye na-mumkin nazar aa jae jalwa-gah-e-naz
sajda-gah-e-ashiqan par naqsh-e-pa hota nahin

hum na dekhen ye alag si baat hai lekin 'zafar'
kaun si shai hai jahan wo runuma hota nahin
