main hun tere liye benam-o-nishan aawara
zindagi mere liye tu hai kahan aawara

tujh se kat kar koi dekhe to kahan pahuncha hun
jaise naddi mein koi sang-e-rawan aawara

tujh ko dekha hai kahin tujh ko kahan dekha hai
wahm hai sar-ba-gareban o guman aawara

dair-o-kaba ki riwayat se inkar nahin
aao do din to phiren nara-zanan aawara

tere daman ki tarah daman-e-shab rakhshanda
mere ashkon ki tarah kaun-o-makan aawara

jalte-bujhte hain har ek gam pe tabinda nujum
koi hai aaj sar-e-kahkashan aawara

bhigi raaton mein 'zafar' phirta hai tanha tanha
aah wo sokhta-dil sokhta-jaan aawara
