maanaa ke musht-e-Khaak se baDakar nahiin huuN main
lekin havaa ke raham-o-karam par nahiin huuN main

insaan huuN dhaDakate huye dil pe haath rakh
yuuN Duubakar na dekh samu.ndar nahiin huuN main

chehare pe mal rahaa huu.N siyaahii nasiib kii
aaiinaa haath men hai sikander nahiin huuN main

Gaalib terii zamiin men likkhii to hai Gazal
tere kad-e-suKhan ke baraabar nahii.n huu.N main

kyaa bhalaa mujhako paraKhane ke natiijaa nikalaa
zaKhm-e-dil aap kii nazaron se bhii geharaa nikalaa

toDakar dekh liyaa aaiinaa-e-dil tuune
terii suurat ke sivaa aur bataa kyaa nikalaa

tishnagii jam gaii patthar kii tarah honTon par
Duub kar tere dariyaa men main pyaasaa nikalaa

lab-e-Khaamosh se izhaar-e-tamannaa chaahe 

baat karane ko bhii tasviir kaa lahajaa chaahe 

tu chale saath to aahaT bhii na aaye apanii 

daramiyaaN ham bhii na ho yuuN tujhe tanhaa chaahe 

zaahiirii aaNkhon se kyaa dekh sakegaa koii 

apane baaton pe bhii ham faash honaa chaahe 

jism-poshii ko mile chaadar-e-aflaak hamen 

sar chhupaane ke liye vusa'at -e-seharaa chaahe 

Khvaab men roye to ehasaas ho sairaabii kaa 

ret par soyen magar aaNkh men dariyaa chaahe  

bheNT chaD jaauuN na main apane hii Khair-o-shar kii 

Khuun-e-dil zabt kare zaKhm tamaashaa chaahe 

zindagii aa.Nkh se ojhal ho magar Khatm na ho 

ek jahaaN aur pas-e-pardaa-e-duniyaa chaahe 

aaj kaa din to chalo kaT hii gayaa jaise bhii kaTaa 

ab Khudaa-band se Khairiyat-e-fardaa chaahe 

aise tairaak bhii dekhe hain 'Muzaffar' hamane 

Garq hone ke liye bhii jo saharaa chaahe 

erii zindagii kisii aur kii, mere naam kaa koii aur hai
mera aks hai sar-e-aaiinaa, pase aaiinaa koii aur hai

merii dhaDakanon men hai chaap sii, ye judaaii bhii hai milaap sii
mujhe kyaa pataa, mere dil bataa, mere saath kyaa koii aur hai

na gae dinon ko Khabar merii, na shariik-e-haal nazar terii
tere des men, mere bhes men, koii aur thaa koii aur hai

vo merii taraf nigaraaN rahe, meraa dhyaan jaane kahaaN rahe
merii aaNkh men kaii suuraten, mujhe chaahataa koii aur hai

Ab itna subho k tarey se pyar kia karna
guzar hee jayegi shab, intezar kia karna

jo dost hee na bana uss se dushmani kaisee
dua'ain jiss ko na dee'n uss pe war kia karna

salamt aa gaye to sahilo'n se mil lengey
taho'n mai chalte hain darya ko paar kia karna

har aik faisla bikta hai ab adalat mai
ye karobar hai, to ab, karobar kia karna

kaha'n tak aadmi khudd apna rasta rokey
jo sirf jabr ho wo ikhtiar kia karna

guzar rahi hai "Muzaffar" pe jo guzarne do
tamam shehr ko ab sogwar kya karna
