us ke khat mein jo likha ghair ka main nam ulta
laya qasid bhi mujhe wan se to paigham ulta

hum musalmanon se yan tak to ye hindu bar-aks
ki kabhi khat bhi jo karte hain to arqam ulta

na wo saqi na wo mai-nosh hain mai-khane mein
ab to rahta hai sar-e-khum pe dhara jam ulta

ek to si-para-e-dil tum ne kiya hai barham
tis pe phir mujh ko hi tum dete ho ilzam ulta

wazhguni jo tabiat mein falak ki hai hanuz
nazar aata hai zamana sahar o sham ulta

shab-e-hijran ki siyahi na hui roz safed
ye waraq tu ne na ai gardish-e-ayyam ulta

rasan-e-dam ko sayyaad ne khincha to wahin
aan kar sar pe asiron ke gira dam ulta

'mushafi' to abhi tha azm-e-safar par tayyar
ghar phira jae hai kyun us ka sar-anjam ulta
