Bahadur Shah Zafar
hijr ke haath se ab khaak pade jiine men
dard ik aur utha aah naya siine men
khun-e-dil piine se jo kuchh hai halavat ham ko
ye maza aur kisi ko nahin mai piine men
dil ko kis shakl se apne na musaffa rakkhun
jalvagar yaar ki surat hai is aine men
ashk o lakht-e-jigar ankhon men nahin hain mere
hain bhare laal o guhar ishq ke ganjine men
shakl-e-aina ‘zafar’ se to na rakh dil men khayal
kuchh maza bhi hai bhala jaan miri lene men
