yaa mujhe afsar-e-shaahaa na banaayaa hotaa - Bahadur Shah Zafar

yaa mujhe afsar-e-shaahaa na banaayaa hotaa

yaa meraa taaj gadaayaa na banaayaa hotaa

khaaksaarii ke liye garache banaayaa thaa mujhe

kaash khaak-e-dar-e-jaanaan na banaayaa hotaa

nashaa-e-ishq kaa gar zarf diyaa thaa mujh ko

umr kaa tang na paimaanaa banaayaa hotaa

apanaa diivaanaa banaayaa mujhe hotaa tuune

kyon khiradmand banaayaa na banaayaa hotaa

sholaa-e-husn chaman men na dikhaayaa us ne

varanaa bulbul ko bhii paravaanaa banaayaa hotaa

roz-e-mamuuraa-e-duniyaa men kharaabii hai 'Zafar'

aisii bastii se to viiraanaa banaayaa hotaa
