tere qarib rahun ya ki main safar mein rahun
ye aarzu hai tere halqa-e-asar mein rahun

shafaq shafaq mujhe dekhe nigah-e-husn-e-shuur
naqib-e-mehr banun naghma-e-sahar mein rahun

yaqin ki chhanw mein tujh ko jo nind aa jae
main tere khwab ki surat teri nazar mein rahun

jamal-e-shahid-e-mani pe jab nikhaar aae
khayal-e-husn banun aur sher-e-tar mein rahun

ye chahta hun ki maikhane tak rasai ho
agar sifal banun dast-e-kuza-gar mein rahun

kabhi phirun main bayaban-e-dil mein sargardan
kabhi nigar-e-kam-amez ki nazar mein rahun

banaen ahl-e-nazar surma-e-nazar mujh ko
ghubar ban ke agar teri rahguzar mein rahun

tera jamal-e-dil-ara rahe tasawwur mein
gulon ki bazm ki main chand ke nagar mein rahun

dua-e-nim-shabi wo kare meri khatir
kuchh aisa ban ke dil-e-husn-e-ishwa-gar mein rahun

mere nasib mein ho tere nam ki surkhi
ki jis ka tujh se talluq ho us khabar mein rahun

kisi ki bazm mein jaane se faeda kya hai
mere liye yahi behtar hai apne ghar mein rahun

banun main tere liye wajah-e-lutf-e-lafani
ziya-e-ishq ki surat dil-o-jigar mein rahun

teri hi samt hamesha ho mera qibla-e-dil
hamesha mahw tere husn-e-mo'atabar mein rahun

'zafar' ye mere liye to azab-e-jaan hoga
khuda na-karda ki main shahr-e-be-hunar mein rahun
