panw mein qais ke zanjir bhali lagti hai
yun hi diwane ki taswir bhali lagti hai

apni kya tujh se kahun tu hi kah apni mujh se
ki mujhe teri hi taqrir bhali lagti hai

khush-numa hai tere aariz pe ye khat yun jis tarah
gird quran ke tafsir bhali lagti hai

jab mere khun mein hoti hai wo rangin qatil
us ghadi kya teri shamshir bhali lagti hai

hoti hai aashiq o mashuq ki jis mein taswir
apni aankhon mein wo tamir bhali lagti hai

meri taswir ko ghamnak tu khinch ai mani
shakl ushshaq ki dil-gir bhali lagti hai

'mushafi' baje hai naubat to dar-e-'asif' par
kya hi aawaz-e-bam-o-zer bhali lagti hai
