jita rahun ki hijr mein mar jaun kya karun
tu hi bata mujhe main kidhar jaun kya karun

hai iztirab-e-dil se nipat arsa mujh pe tang
aaj us talak ba-dida-e-tar jaun kya karun

hairan hun ki kyunke ye qissa chuke mera
sar rakh ke tegh hi pe guzar jaun kya karun

batla de tu hi wa-shud-e-dil ka mujhe ilaj
gulshan mein ai nasim-e-sahar jaun kya karun

baitha rahun kahan talak us dar pe 'mushafi'
ab aai sham hone ko ghar jaun kya karun
