inki nazron mein na ban jae tamasha chehra

in kī nazroñ meñ na ban jaa.e tamāsha chehra

is liye Dartā huuñ dikhlāne se apnā chehra

jaane kyā baat huī shahr-e-nigār-e-jāñ meñ

aaj kyuuñ ajnabī lagtā hai shanāsā chehra

bahr-e-ġham bhī hai kabhī āshiq ḳhasta ke liye

hai kabhī sāhil-e-ishrat bhī tumhārā chehra

ham vahāñ haiñ jahāñ qaa.em hai hukūmat dil kī

phir bhī kyuuñ roz dikhātā hai karishma chehra

chehra-e-husn ko ab dekh ke ye sochtā huuñ

aa.ina hai koī yā ā.ina-ḳhāna chehra

kyā rahe dil kī koī baat muamma ban kar

kartā rahtā hai yahāñ dil kā fasāna chehra

kaun hai jis ke liye itnā pareshān hai dil

DhūñDhtā rahtā hai ab kis ko vo chehra chehra

kushta-e-gardish-e-daurāñ hue uf rī taqdīr

varna kal chāñd se behtar thā hamārā chehra

vo tire phuul se din mujh ko bahut yaad aa.e

maiñ ne dekhā jo tirā dhuup meñ jhulsā chehra

chashm-e-mushtāq za-sar tā-ba-qadam maiñ bhī huuñ

ban gayā hai jo tirā husn sarāpā chehra

mehrbāñ kaun mire dil pe hai itnā ai 'zafar'

har ghaḌī rahtā hai āñkhoñ meñ ye kis kā chehra

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
