jab bhi mazi ke nazare ko nazar jaegi

jab bhī maazī ke nazāre ko nazar jā.egī

shaam ashkoñ ke sitāroñ se sañvar jā.egī

kyā batā.ūñ ki kahāñ tak ye nazar jā.egī

ek din hadd-e-ta.ayyun se guzar jā.egī

jab bhī us ke ruḳh-e-raushan kā ḳhayāl aa.egā

chāñdnī dil ke shabistāñ meñ utar jā.egī

har sitam karne se pahle ye zarā soch bhī le

maiñ jo bikhrā to tirī zulf bikhar jā.egī

maiñ ye samjhūñgā mujhe mil ga.ī merāj-e-vafā

zindagī gar tirī yādoñ meñ guzar jā.egī

us taraf apnī mohabbat kī kahānī hogī

ye havā bū-e-vafā le ke jidhar jā.egī

kyā ḳhabar thī ki 'zafar' ruuh mirī duniyā meñ

ārzūoñ se kuchal kar kabhī mar jā.egī

jab bhi mazi ke nazare ko nazar jaegi

sham ashkon ke sitaron se sanwar jaegi

kya bataun ki kahan tak ye nazar jaegi

ek din hadd-e-tayyun se guzar jaegi

jab bhi us ke ruKH-e-raushan ka KHayal aaega

chandni dil ke shabistan mein utar jaegi

har sitam karne se pahle ye zara soch bhi le

main jo bikhra to teri zulf bikhar jaegi

main ye samjhunga mujhe mil gai meraj-e-wafa

zindagi gar teri yaadon mein guzar jaegi

us taraf apni mohabbat ki kahani hogi

ye hawa bu-e-wafa le ke jidhar jaegi

kya KHabar thi ki 'zafar' ruh meri duniya mein

aarzuon se kuchal kar kabhi mar jaegi
