zindagi jis par hanse aisi koi khwahish na ki
ghao sine mein sajae ghar ki aaraish na ki

nukta-chini par meri tum itne bargashta na ho
kah diya jo kuchh bhi dil mein tha magar sazish na ki

ek se haalat aae hain nazar har daur mein
ruk gae mere qadam ya waqt ne gardish na ki

jhuk gaya qadmon pe tere phir bhi sar uncha raha
aankh patthar ho gai jalwon ki farmaish na ki

lakh nazron ko uchhaala tu na aaya baam par
sae sar patkha kiye diwar ne jumbish na ki

main ne jin aankhon ko sine mein utara phir gain
khud ko apnane ki is dar se kabhi koshish na ki

rah ke mahdud-e-wasail ki 'muzaffar' ne basar
panw phaila kar kabhi chadar ki paimaish na ki
