kyun main hail ho jata hun apni hi tanhai mein
kyuuñ maiñ haa.il ho jaatā huuñ apnī hī tanhā.ī meñ
varna ik pur-lutf samāñ hai ḳhud apnī gahrā.ī meñ
fitrat ne atā kī hai be-shak mujh ko bhī kuchh aqal-e-salīm
kaun ḳhalal-andāz huā hai merī har dānā.ī meñ
jhuuT kī namkīnī se bātoñ meñ aa jaatā hai mazā
koī nahīñ letā dilchaspī phīkī sī sachchā.ī meñ
apne the begāne the aur āḳhir meñ ḳhud merī zaat
kis kis kā ikrām huā hai kitnā mirī rusvā.ī meñ
badle badle lagte ho hai chehre par anjānā-pan
yā vaqt ke hāthoñ farq aayā merī hī bīnā.ī meñ
sunñe vāloñ ke chehroñ par surḳh lakīroñ ke haiñ nishāñ
ḳhūnī sochoñ kī āmezish hai naġhmoñ kī shahnā.ī meñ
sab qadreñ pāmāl huiiñ insāñ ne ḳhud ko masḳh kiyā
qudrat ne kitnī mehnat kī thī apnī bazm-ārā.ī meñ
apnī āgāhī kī un ko hotī nahīñ taufīq kabhī
log ḳhudā ko DhūñD rahe haiñ āfāqī pahnā.ī meñ
duniyā kī dānish-gāhoñ meñ aaj ajab ik bahas chhiḌī
kaun bharose ke qābil hai aaqil aur saudā.ī meñ
jaane kis kirdār kī kaa.ī mere ghar meñ aa pahuñchī
ab to 'zafar' chalnā hai mushkil āñgan kī chiknā.ī meñ
kyun main hail ho jata hun apni hi tanhai mein
warna ek pur-lutf saman hai KHud apni gahrai mein
fitrat ne ata ki hai be-shak mujh ko bhi kuchh aqal-e-salim
kaun KHalal-andaz hua hai meri har danai mein
jhuT ki namkini se baaton mein aa jata hai maza
koi nahin leta dilchaspi phiki si sachchai mein
apne the begane the aur aaKHir mein KHud meri zat
kis kis ka ikram hua hai kitna meri ruswai mein
badle badle lagte ho hai chehre par anjaana-pan
ya waqt ke hathon farq aaya meri hi binai mein
sunne walon ke chehron par surKH lakiron ke hain nishan
KHuni sochon ki aamezish hai naghmon ki shahnai mein
sab qadren pamal huin insan ne KHud ko masKH kiya
qudrat ne kitni mehnat ki thi apni bazm-arai mein
apni aagahi ki un ko hoti nahin taufiq kabhi
log KHuda ko DhunD rahe hain aafaqi pahnai mein
duniya ki danish-gahon mein aaj ajab ek bahas chhiDi
kaun bharose ke qabil hai aaqil aur saudai mein
jaane kis kirdar ki kai mere ghar mein aa pahunchi
ab to 'zafar' chalna hai mushkil aangan ki chiknai mein
