Siyah raat ki har dilkashi ko bhul gae

siyah raat ki har dilkashi ko bhul gae
diye jala ke hamin raushni ko bhul gae

kisi kali ke tabassum ne bekali di hai
kali hansi to hum apni hansi ko bhul gae

jahan mein aur rah-o-rasm-e-ashiqi kya hai
fareb-KHurda teri be-ruKHi ko bhul gae

yahi hai shewa-e-ahl-e-wafa zamane mein
kisi ko dil se lagaya kisi ko bhul gae

zara si baat pe daman chhuDa liya hum se
tamam umr ki wabastagi ko bhul gae

KHuda-parast KHuda se to lau lagate rahe
KHuda ki shan magar aadmi ko bhul gae

wo jis ke gham ne gham-e-zindagi diya hai 'zafar'
usi ke gham mein gham-e-zindagi ko bhul gae
