na wo wada-e-sar-e-rah hai na wo dosti na nibah hai
na wo dil-farebi ke hain chalan na wo pyari pyari nigah hai

tere hijr mein mah-e-sim-bar koi ghaur se jo kare nazar
meri subh sham se hai batar mera roz shab se siyah hai

hai har ek baat mein ab kaji ki chalan nikale hain aur hi
na wo rabt hai na wo dosti na wo rasm hai na wo rah hai

koi zahr-e-gham piye ta-ba-kai hui sarf-e-saghar-e-ghair mai
na wo joshish-e-sar-e-sham hai na wo wada-e-shab-e-mah hai

bane kyunke phir meri us ki ab ki ye tafraqa hai bada ghazab
mujhe us se achchhe ki hai talab use mujh se achchhe ki chah hai

kabhi samne se jo wo jae hai kabhi pher munh ko dikhae hai
mujhe dard-e-rashk satae hai ki yahi wo ghairat-e-mah hai

thi nigah pahle to us ki wun kahin dosti mein hua hai yun
diya us ne dil kahin aur kyun yahi 'mushafi' ka gunah hai
