shab mein wan jaun to jaun kis tarah
bakht-e-khufta ko jagaun kis tarah

qissa-khwan baithe hain ghere us ke tain
dastan apni sunaun kis tarah

go main aashiq hun pa taqat hai meri
hath panw ko lagaun kis tarah

rakh diya hai sar pe ek koh-e-khayal
sar ko zanu se uthaun kis tarah

nala girya ki madad karta nahin
ashk ke nale bahaun kis tarah

chah wo shai hai ki chhupti hi nahin
us ko ya-rab main chhupaun kis tarah

aa bani hai 'mushafi' ki jaan par
ya-rab apna ji bachaun kis tarah
