na durweshon ka khirqa chahiye na taj-e-shahana
mujhe to hosh de itna rahun main tujh pe diwana

kitabon mein dhara hai kya bahut likh likh ke dho dalin
hamare dil pe naqsh-e-kal-hajr hai tera farmana

ghanimat jaan jo dam guzre kaifiyat se gulshan mein
diye ja saqi-e-paiman-shikan bhar bhar ke paimana

na dekha wo kahin jalwa jo dekha khana-e-dil mein
bahut masjid mein sar mara bahut sa dhunda but-khana

kuchh aisa ho ki jis se manzil-e-maqsud ko pahunchun
tariq-e-parsai howe ya ho rah-e-rindana

ye sari aamad-o-shud hai nafas ki aamad-o-shud par
isi tak aana jaana hai na phir jaana na phir aana

'zafar' wo zahid-e-bedard ki hu-haq se behtar hai
kare gar rind dard-e-dil se haw-hu-e-mastana
