kabhi use to kabhi khud ko dekhte rahna
isi madar mein din raat ghumte rahna

hum apna farz karenge ada ba-har surat
hamara kaam hai rahen tarashte rahna

wo mahw hona mera sham se teri dhun mein
tamam raat teri rah dekhte rahna

na hone dena kabhi past hauslon ki fasil
kamand chand sitaron pe dalte rahna

uthae rakhna isi ek usul ka parcham
bura na karna bhala sab ka chahte rahna

najat tira-shabi se jo chahte ho 'zafar'
nuqush-e-subh-e-darakhshan ubhaarte rahna
