naqsh dil par kaisi kaisi suraton ka rah gaya
kitni lahren ham-safar thin phir bhi pyasa rah gaya

kaisi kaisi khwahishen mujh se juda hoti gain
kis qadar aabaad tha aur kitna tanha rah gaya

dhundne nikla tha aawazon ki basti mein use
soch kar viran guzargahon pe baitha rah gaya

us se milna yaad hai mil kar bichhadna yaad hai
kya bata sakta hun kya jata raha kya rah gaya

main ye kahta hun ki har rukh se basar ki zindagi
zindagi kahti hai har pahlu adhura rah gaya

ahd-e-rafta ki khudai kis qadar mahngi padi
jis jagah unchi imarat thi gadha sa rah gaya

sirf itni hai 'muzaffar' apni rudad-e-hayat
main zamane ko zamana mujh ko takta rah gaya
