lagataa nahii.n hai jii meraa uja.De dayaar me.n
Bahadur Shah Zafar

lagataa nahii.n hai jii meraa uja.De dayaar me.n 
kis kii banii hai aalam-e-naa_paayedaar me.n 

ham ko hai baaG_baa.N se na sayyaad se gilaa 
qismat me.n qaid thii likhii fasl-e-bahaar me.n 

kah do in hasarato.n se kahii.n aur jaa base.n 
itanii jagah kahaa.N hai dil-e-daaG_daar me.n 

umr-e-daraaz maa.Ng kar laaye the chaar din 
do aarazuu me.n kaT gaye do intazaar me.n 

kitanaa hai badanasiib 'Zafar' dafn ke liye 
do gaz zamiin bhii na milii kuu-e-yaar me.n
