pucha jo ussne haal toh aankhon se tuut kar

pucha jo ussne haal toh aankhon se tuut kar
chotta sa ek ashq bada kaam kar gaya

rozgaar ke vaar

'zafar' ne kaise sahe honge rozgaar ke vaar
ye aadmi toh bada dhaan-paan lagta hai

zafar gorakhpuri ki shayyiri

mausam ko isharon se bula kyun nahi lete
rootha hai agar woh toh mana kyun nahi lete
deewana tumhara hai koi ghaiir nahi hai
machla hai to seene se laga kyun nahi lete
tum jaag rahe ho mujhe achcha nahi lagta
chupke se meri neend chura kyun nahi lete
khat likh ke kabhi aur kabhi khat ko jala kar
tanhaii ko rangeen bana kyun nahi lete

zafar gorakhpuri ki shayyiri

nisaf[half] chehre pe pade hain gesu
chaand nikla bhi toh aadha nikla

zafar gorakhpuri ki shayyiri

mausam ko isharon se bula kyun nahi lete ,
rootha hai agar woh to mana kyun nahi lete .
deewana tumhara hai koi ghair nahi hai ,
machla hai to seene se laga kyun nahi lete .
tum jaag rahe ho mujhe achcha nahi lagta ,
chupke se meri neend chura kyun nahi lete .
haath likh ke kabhie - aur kabhie khat ko jala kar
tanhaii ko rangiin bana kyun nahi lete
