ruKH jo zer-e-sumbul-e-pur-pech-o-tab aa jaega
phir ke burj-e-sumbule mein aaftab aa jaega
tera ehsan hoga qasid gar shitab aa jaega
sabr mujh ko dekh kar KHat ka jawab aa jaega
ho na betab itna gar us ka itab aa jaega
tu ghazab mein ai dil-e-KHana-KHarab aa jaega
is qadar rona nahin behtar bas ab ashkon ko rok
warna tufan dekh ai chashm-e-pur-ab aa jaega
pesh howega agar tere gunahon ka hisab
tang zalim arsa-e-roz-e-hisab aa jaega
dekh kar dast-e-sitam mein teri tegh-e-abdar
mere har zaKHm-e-jigar ke munh mein aab aa jaega
apni chashm-e-mast ki gardish na ai saqi dikha
dekh chakkar mein abhi jam-e-sharab aa jaega
KHub hoga han jo sine se nikal jaega tu
chain mujh ko ai dil-e-pur-iztirab aa jaega
ai 'zafar' uTh jaega jab parda-e-sharm-o-hijab
samne wo yar mere be-hijab aa jaega
Ghazal
RuKH jo zer-e-sumbul-e-pur-pech-o-tab aa jaega
