kidhar jaiye aur kahan baithiye
parichita nahin dil jahan baithiye

main dekha tumhein khub parde mein ab
zara aur ho kar nihan baithiye

khade dekhte kya ho phir aaiye
karam kijiye mehrban baithiye

abhi se kahan uth chale koi dam
ghanimat hai sohbat miyan baithiye

tere hathon se ai jafa-e-falak
bata tu hi chhup kar kahan baithiye

bithaya mujhe tum ne zindan mein khub
main baitha bas ab dostan baithiye

tum aankhon mein kya baithte ho meri
ba-pahlu-e-dil misl-e-jaan baithiye

nahin baithne ki tumhaare wo ja
idhar aaiye ab yahan baithiye

na pahunchoge manzil ko tum 'mushafi'
gaya dur ab karwan baithiye
