mar gae ai wah un ki naz-bardari mein hum
dil ke hathon se pade kaisi giraftari mein hum

sab pe raushan hai hamari sozish-e-dil bazm mein
shama san jalte hain apni garm-bazari mein hum

yaad mein hai tere dam ki aamad-o-shud pur-khayal
be-khabar sab se hain is dam ki khabardari mein hum

jab hansaya gardish-e-gardun ne hum ko shakl-e-gul
misl-e-shabnam hain hamesha girya o zari mein hum

chashm o dil bina hai apne roz o shab ai marduman
garche sote hain ba-zahir par hain bedari mein hum

dosh par rakht-e-safar bandhe hai kya ghuncha saba
dekhte hain sab ko yan jaise ki tayyari mein hum

kab talak be-did se ya rab rakhen chashm-e-wafa
lag rahe hain aaj kal to dil ki gham-khwari mein hum

dekh kar aaina kya kahta hai yaro ab wo shokh
mah se sad chand behtar hain ada-dari mein hum

ai 'zafar' likh tu ghazal bahr o qawafi pher kar
khama-e-dur-rez se hain ab guhar-bari mein hum
