Bahadur Shah Zafar
paan ki surkhi nahin lab par but-e-khun-khvar ke
lag gaya hai khun-e-ashiq munh ko is talvar ke
khal-e-ariz dekh lo halqe men zulf-e-yar ke
mar-e-mohra gar na dekha ho dahan men maar ke
anjum-e-taban falak par janti hai jis ko khalq
kuchh sharare hain vo meri ah-e-atish-bar ke
tuba-e-jannat se us ko kaam kya hai hur-vash
jo ki hain asuda saae men tiri divar ke
puchhte ho haal kya mera qimar-e-ishq men
jhaad baitha haath main naqd-e-dil-o-din haar ke
ye hui tasir ishq-e-koh-kan se sang-e-ab
ashk jaari ab talak chashmon se hain kohsar ke
hai vo be-vahdat ki jo samjhe hai kufr o diin men farq
rakhti hai tasbih rishta taar se zunnar ke
vada-e-didar jo thahra qayamat par to yaan
roz hoti hai qayamat shauq men didar ke
hoshiyari hai yahi kiije ‘zafar’ is se hazar
dekhiye jis ko nashe men bada-e-pindar ke
