jab se basa hai dil mein teri dilkashi ka rang
yak-rang ho gaya hai meri zindagi ka rang

apnon ne barha mujhe ghurbat mein chhod kar
dekha hai kis khushi se meri bebasi ka rang

khud aaine mein dil ke mere jhank lijiye
ghairon se puchhiye na meri aashiqi ka rang

zulf-e-siyah raqsan hai rukhsar-e-yar par
nur-e-sahar se uljha hai tira-shabi ka rang

meri kitab-e-zist ko tu dekh ghaur se
phaila hai har waraq pe teri dilkashi ka rang

dekha jo main ne khwab mein us but ko be-hijab
ab tak 'zafar' pe chhaya hai ek be-khudi ka rang
