gham-e-dil ka bayan chhod gae
hum ye apna nishan chhod gae

teri dahshat se bagh mein sayyaad
murgh sab aashiyan chhod gae

rah mein mujh ko ham-rahan mere
jaan ko na-tawan chhod gae

nafrat aai sag-o-huma ko kya
jo mere ustukhwan chhod gae

chalte chalte bhi ye jafa-keshan
hath mujh par nidan chhod gae

kisi dar par unhon ko ja na mili
jo tera aastan chhod gae

safar is dil se kar gae gham-o-dard
yar suna makan chhod gae

safha-e-rozgar par likh likh
ishq ki dastan chhod gae

le gae sab badan zamin mein hum
'mushafi' ek zaban chhod gae
