Yaa mujhe afsar-e-shaahaa na banaayaa hotaa
yaa meraa taaj gadaayaa na banaayaa hotaa

Khaaksaarii ke liye garache banaayaa thaa mujhe
kaash Khaak-e-dar-e-jaanaa’n na banaayaa hotaa

nashaa-e-ishq kaa gar zarf diyaa thaa mujh ko
umr kaa tang na paimaanaa banaayaa hotaa

apanaa diivaanaa banaayaa mujhe hotaa tuune
kyon Khiradmand banaayaa na banaayaa hotaa

sholaa-e-husn chaman me’n na dikhaayaa us ne
varanaa bulbul ko bhii paravaanaa banaayaa hotaa

roz-e-mamuuraa-e-duniyaa men Kharaabii hai 'Zafar'
aisii bastii se to viiraanaa banaayaa hotaa
