Wo Sau Sau ATkhaTon Se Ghar Se Bahar Do Qadam Nikle
wo sau sau aTkhaTon se ghar se bahar do qadam nikle
bala se us ki gar us mein kisi muztar ka dam nikle
kahan aansu ke qatre KHun-e-dil se hain baham nikle
ye dil mein jama the muddat se kuchh paikan-e-gham nikle
mere mazmun-e-soz-e-dil se KHat sab jal gaya mera
qalam se harf jo nikle sharar hi yak-qalam nikle
nikal ai chaaragar tu shauq se lekin sar-e-paikan
udhar nikle jigar se tir udhar qalib se dam nikle
tasawwur se lab-e-lalin ke tere hum agar ro den
to jo laKHt-e-jigar aaankhon se nikle ek raqam nikle
nahin Darte agar hon lakh zindan yar zindan se
junun ab to misal-e-nala-e-zanjir hum nikle
jigar par dagh lab par dud-e-dil aur ashk daman mein
teri mahfil se hum manind-e-shama subh-dam nikle
agar hota zamana gesu-e-shab-rang ka tere
meri shab-diz sauda ka ziyaada-tar qadam nikle
kaji jin ki tabiat mein hai kab hoti wo sidhi hai
kaho shaKH-e-gul-e-taswir se kis tarah KHam nikle
shumar ek shab kiya hum ne jo apne dil ke daghon se
to anjum charKH-e-hashtum ke bahut se un se kam nikle
KHuda ke waste zahid uTha parda na kabe ka
kahin aisa na ho yan bhi wahi kafir-sanam nikle
tamanna hai ye dil mein jab talak hai dam mein dam apne
'zafar' munh se hamare nam us ka dam-ba-dam nikle
Bahadur Shah Zafar
