raat ke rahne ka na dar kijiye
ek to shab yan bhi sahar kijiye

log kahenge tumhein harjai hai
dil mein ek aalam ke na ghar kijiye

dekhte ho meri taraf kya miyan
apni bhi surat pe nazar kijiye

aa hi liya be-khabari ne hamein
kaun hai yan kis ko khabar kijiye

ghair ko ja dete ho ghar mein agar
mere tain shahr-badar kijiye

dekh nigahen teri kahti hai khalq
aisi nigahon se hazar kijiye

phir nahin milna tera mushkil miyan
jaan ka gar apni zarar kijiye

manzil-e-hasti mein bahut hum rahe
'mushafi' ab yan se safar kijiye
