tujh se qarib-tar teri tanhaiyon mein hun
dhadkan hun tere qalb ki gahraiyon mein hun

dukh hai ki teri zat mein shamil tha main kabhi
aur aaj tere jism ki parchhaiyon mein hun

khud-bin na ban baghaur zara aaina to dekh
main bhi to tere husn ki ranaiyon mein hun

latka hun main salib pe har ahd ki tarah
is jurm par ki waqt ki sachchaiyon mein hun

jab se gira hun us ki nigahon se ai 'zafar'
har bazm mein haqir hun ruswaiyon mein hun
