baad-e-murdan ki bhi tadbir kiye jata hun
apni qabr aap hi tamir kiye jata hun

chain mutlaq nahin padta shab-e-hijran mein mujhe
subh tak nala-e-shab-gir kiye jata hun

afw par afw ki rezish hai udhar se har dam
aur main taqsir pe taqsir kiye jata hun

us ke kuche mein jo dekhega karega mujhe yaad
apni surat ki main taswir kiye jata hun

uth ke ta-kucha-e-laila se na jawe ye kahin
panw mein qais ke zanjir kiye jata hun

koi le jae ise ya ki na le jae pa main
nama-e-shauq ki tahrir kiye jata hun

us ka kya jurm mere hosh gae hain kaise
jo alam ghair pe shamshir kiye jata hun

pesh jati nahin yun bhi meri us se har-chand
sharr-o-makr-o-fan-o-tazwir kiye jata hun

naqsh-e-hub chaal se nikal hai meri is khatir
main pari-zadon ki taskhir kiye jata hun

'mushafi' yar tu sunta nahin aur wahshi sa
haal ki apne main taqrir kiye jata hun
