Zindagi khushiyo ki basar ho ye zaruri to nahi
Neend to dard ke bistar pe bhi aa sakti hai
Us ki aagosh me sar ho ye zaruri to nahi
Tute dil ki daraaro se nikal jaate hain log
Tute dil me kasar ho, ye zaruri to nahi
Aati hai koi khushnuma raat hi lambi
Har shaam be-sahar ho, ye zaruri to nahi
aur
Zukai tu ne nigaah, to likhi ghazal maine
Tera yaar bhi ‘Zafar’ ho, ye zaruri to nahi
