Bahadur Shah Zafar
itna na apne jaame se bahar nikal ke chal
duniya hai chal-chalav ka rasta sambhal ke chal
kam-zarf pur-ghurur zara apna zarf dekh
manind josh-e-gham na ziyada ubal ke chal
fursat hai ik sada ki yahan soz-e-dil ke saath
us par sapand-var na itna uchhal ke chal
ye ghol-vash hain in ko samajh tu na rahnuma
saae se bach ke ahl-e-fareb-o-daghal ke chal
auron ke bal pe bal na kar itna na chal nikal
bal hai to bal ke bal pe tu kuchh apne bal ke chal
insan ko kal ka putla banaya hai us ne aap
aur aap hi vo kahta hai putle ko kal ke chal
phir ankhen bhi to diin hain ki rakh dekh kar qadam
kahta hai kaun tujh ko na chal chal sambhal ke chal
hai turfa amn-gah nihan-khana-e-adam
ankhon ke ru-ba-ru se tu logon ke tal ke chal
kya chal sakega ham se ki pahchante hain ham
tu laakh apni chaal ko zalim badal ke chal
hai shama sar ke bal jo mohabbat men garm ho
parvana apne dil se ye kahta hai jal ke chal
bulbul ke hosh nikhat-e-gul ki tarah uda
gulshan men mere saath zara itr mal ke chal
gar qasd su-e-dil hai tira ai nigah-e-yar
do-char tiir paik se aage ajal ke chal
jo imtihan-e-taba kare apna ai ‘zafar’
to kah do us ko taur pe tu is ghazal ke chal
