jo aae wo hisab-e-ab-o-dana karne wale the
gae wo log jo kar-e-zamana karne wale the

udane ke liye kuchh kam nahin hai khak ghar mein bhi
wo mausam hi nahin hain jo diwana karne wale the

meri gum-gashtagi mere liye chhat ban gai warna
ye duniya wale mujh ko be-thikana karne wale the

na dete sare manzar aks hi thode se de dete
hum aawara kahan tazin-e-khana karne wale the

samundar le gaya hum se wo sari sipiyan wapas
jinhen hum jamma kar ke ek khazana karne wale the

'zafar' be-khanaman apne ko khud hi kar liya tum ne
ye kar-e-khair to ahl-e-zamana karne wale the
