in ki nazron mein na ban jae tamasha chehra
is liye darta hun dikhlane se apna chehra

jaane kya baat hui shahr-e-nigar-e-jaan mein
aaj kyun ajnabi lagta hai shanasa chehra

bahr-e-gham bhi hai kabhi aashiq khasta ke liye
hai kabhi sahil-e-ishrat bhi tumhaara chehra

hum wahan hain jahan qaem hai hukumat dil ki
phir bhi kyun roz dikhata hai karishma chehra

chehra-e-husn ko ab dekh ke ye sochta hun
aaina hai koi ya aaina-khana chehra

kya rahe dil ki koi baat muamma ban kar
karta rahta hai yahan dil ka fasana chehra

kaun hai jis ke liye itna pareshan hai dil
dhundhta rahta hai ab kis ko wo chehra chehra

kushta-e-gardish-e-dauran hue uf ri taqdir
warna kal chand se behtar tha hamara chehra

wo tere phul se din mujh ko bahut yaad aae
main ne dekha jo tera dhup mein jhulsa chehra

chashm-e-mushtaq za-sar ta-ba-qadam main bhi hun
ban gaya hai jo tera husn sarapa chehra

mehrban kaun mere dil pe hai itna ai 'zafar'
har ghadi rahta hai aankhon mein ye kis ka chehra
