us gali mein jo hum ko lae qadam
panw padte hi ladkhadae qadam

wae qismat main rah gaya pichhe
aur rafiqon ne jald uthae qadam

har qadam par hai lash kushte ki
ab kahan us gali mein jae qadam

tere kuche se aae jo un ke
apni aankhon se main lagae qadam

ashk-e-khuni se mere us ku main
nakhl-e-marjaan hain naqsh-ha-e-qadam

karwan-e-adam kidhar ko gaya
mutlaq aati nahin sada-e-qadam

peshtar manzil-e-fana se nahin
wadi-e-ma-o-man mein jae qadam

'mushafi' salikan-e-ishq ka hai
aisi manzil pe intiha-e-qadam
