kashti-hawas hawaon ke rukh par utar de
khoe houn se mil ye daladdar utar de

be-samt ki udan hai shokhi shabab ki
us chhat pe aaj tu ye kabutar utar de

main itna bad-maash nahin yani khul ke baith
chubhne lagi hai dhup sweater utar de

din-raat yun na khauf ka gatthar uthae phir
ye bojh apne sar se jhatak kar utar de

us ki hi aab-o-tab se raushan ho reg-e-dil
ye tegh mere sine ke andar utar de

chehre se jhad pichhle baras ki kuduraten
diwar se purana calendar utar de

ye baat zarf ki nahin hai mawara-e-zarf
chahe to is kuen mein samundar utar de

logon ke sath meri ladai hai aaj-kal
behtar hai mujh ko shahr se bahar utar de

tu khud to sat pardon mein mastur hai 'zafar'
malbus tere aage wo kyunkar utar de
