ye jo terī āñkhoñ meñ ma.anī-e-vafā sā hai
kāsa-e-tamannā ke harf-e-mudda.ā sā hai
mere ḳhuun kī surḳhī surḳhī-e-vafā Thahrī
jis se rū-e-qātil bhī surḳh-rū banā sā hai
qatl-gāh-e-armāñ hai jis kī mahfil-e-ishrat
vo nigār-e-fitna-zā paikar-e-vafā sā hai
jab se mujh ko hāsil hai tere qurb kī daulat
naqsh-e-sañg-e-pā.inda mujh pe aa.ina sā hai
lafz aur ma.anī kā ye ta.alluq-e-bāham
pesh-e-dīda-e-bīnā rishta-e-vafā sā hai
raḳhsh-e-fikr ko apne kījiye zarā mahmez
nau-ba-nau mazāmīñ kā dar abhī khulā sā hai
bāb-e-shahr-e-irfāñ ke nūr-e-chashm kā hai faiz
parcham-e-jahūl-e-vaqt jo jhukā jhukā sā hai
dushmanoñ ke narġhe meñ maiñ khaḌā huuñ tanhā sā
ma.arka mohabbat kā jañg-e-karbalā sā hai
hoñT tere phūloñ se baat terī ḳhushbū sī
ruup chāñd sā terā dil bhī aa.ina sā hai
parcham-e-mohabbat hai jab se mere hāthoñ meñ
dard dil-nashīñ sā hai zaḳhm dil-rubā sā hai
dam meñ sar uThātā hai dam meñ TuuT jaatā hai
dil bhī bahr-e-ulfat meñ koī bulbulā sā hai
shor-e-hashr barpā hai yā ki shor-e-tanhā.ī
haiñ bujhī bujhī āñkheñ dil Darā Darā sā hai
vo nigāh-e-jānāñ kā ġhamza-e-balā-an.gez
mus.haf-e-mohabbat ke harf-e-ibtidā sā hai
mere dil kī ḳhātir to ye fasāna-e-hastī
zaḳhm-e-be-rafū sā hai dard-e-lā-davā sā hai
bas tirī nigāhoñ meñ ehtijāj hai bātil
har jafā munāsib sī har sitam ravā sā hai
niiñd kyuuñ nahīñ aatī ḳhvāb ḳhvāb āñkhoñ ko
shahr-e-jāñ meñ har jānib kyuuñ ye rat-jagā sā hai
chehra-e-mohabbat par hai usī se tābānī
ye ġhubār pā-e-nāz ġhāza-e-vafā sā hai
mujh ko mil hī jā.egī ik na ek din manzil
bas isī tavaqqo par dil meñ hausla sā hai
kaun hai jo rakhtā hai dost is qadar mujh ko
ajnabī sī duniyā meñ kaun āshnā sā hai
ai 'zafar' na chhoḌegā vo mujhe duā denā
yuuñ to hai vo barham sā yuuñ to vo ḳhafā sā hai
ye jo teri aankhon mein mani-e-wafa sa hai
kasa-e-tamanna ke harf-e-muddaa sa hai
mere KHun ki surKHi surKHi-e-wafa Thahri
jis se ru-e-qatil bhi surKH-ru bana sa hai
qatl-gah-e-arman hai jis ki mahfil-e-ishrat
wo nigar-e-fitna-za paikar-e-wafa sa hai
jab se mujh ko hasil hai tere qurb ki daulat
naqsh-e-sang-e-painda mujh pe aaina sa hai
lafz aur mani ka ye talluq-e-baham
pesh-e-dida-e-bina rishta-e-wafa sa hai
raKHsh-e-fikr ko apne kijiye zara mahmez
nau-ba-nau mazamin ka dar abhi khula sa hai
bab-e-shahr-e-irfan ke nur-e-chashm ka hai faiz
parcham-e-jahul-e-waqt jo jhuka jhuka sa hai
dushmanon ke narghe mein main khaDa hun tanha sa
marka mohabbat ka jang-e-karbala sa hai
honT tere phulon se baat teri KHushbu si
rup chand sa tera dil bhi aaina sa hai
parcham-e-mohabbat hai jab se mere hathon mein
dard dil-nashin sa hai zaKHm dil-ruba sa hai
dam mein sar uThata hai dam mein TuT jata hai
dil bhi bahr-e-ulfat mein koi bulbula sa hai
shor-e-hashr barpa hai ya ki shor-e-tanhai
hain bujhi bujhi aankhen dil Dara Dara sa hai
wo nigah-e-jaanan ka ghamza-e-bala-angez
mushaf-e-mohabbat ke harf-e-ibtida sa hai
mere dil ki KHatir to ye fasana-e-hasti
zaKHm-e-be-rafu sa hai dard-e-la-dawa sa hai
bas teri nigahon mein ehtijaj hai baatil
har jafa munasib si har sitam rawa sa hai
nind kyun nahin aati KHwab KHwab aankhon ko
shahr-e-jaan mein har jaanib kyun ye rat-jaga sa hai
chehra-e-mohabbat par hai usi se tabani
ye ghubar pa-e-naz ghaza-e-wafa sa hai
mujh ko mil hi jaegi ek na ek din manzil
bas isi tawaqqo par dil mein hausla sa hai
kaun hai jo rakhta hai dost is qadar mujh ko
ajnabi si duniya mein kaun aashna sa hai
ai 'zafar' na chhoDega wo mujhe dua dena
yun to hai wo barham sa yun to wo KHafa sa hai
