ya mujhe afsar-e-shahana banaya hota
ya mera taj gadayana banaya hota

apna diwana banaya mujhe hota tu ne
kyun khirad-mand banaya na banaya hota

khaksari ke liye garche banaya tha mujhe
kash khak-e-dar-e-jaanana banaya hota

nashsha-e-ishq ka gar zarf diya tha mujh ko
umr ka tang na paimana banaya hota

dil-e-sad-chaak banaya to bala se lekin
zulf-e-mushkin ka tere shana banaya hota

sufiyon ke jo na tha laeq-e-sohbat to mujhe
qabil-e-jalsa-e-rindana banaya hota

tha jalana hi agar duri-e-saqi se mujhe
to charagh-e-dar-e-mai-khana banaya hota

shola-e-husn chaman mein na dikhaya us ne
warna bulbul ko bhi parwana banaya hota

roz mamura-e-duniya mein kharabi hai 'zafar'
aisi basti ko to virana banaya hota
