aah dekhi thi main jis ghar mein pari ki surat

aah dekhī thī maiñ jis ghar meñ parī kī sūrat

ab nazar aa.e hai vaañ nauhagarī kī sūrat

na vo andāz na āvāz na ishva na adā

yak-ba-yak miT ga.ī yuuñ jalvagarī kī sūrat

ab ḳhayāl us kā vahāñ āñkhoñ meñ phirtā hai mirī

koī phirtā thā jahāñ kabk-e-darī kī sūrat

us ke jaane se mirā dil hai mire siine meñ

dam kā mehmān charāġh-e-saharī kī sūrat

ne ḳhabar us ko mirī pahuñche hai ne us kī mujhe

bañdh ga.ī hai ajab ik be-ḳhabarī kī sūrat

naam luuñ kis kā ki ik gul ke liye jaate haiñ

ashk āñkhoñ se aqīq-e-jigarī kī sūrat

'mus.hafī' hai yahī ab soch ki dekheñ to falak

phir bhī dikhlā.egā yār-e-safarī kī sūrat

aah dekhi thi main jis ghar mein pari ki surat

ab nazar aae hai wan nauhagari ki surat

na wo andaz na aawaz na ishwa na ada

yak-ba-yak miT gai yun jalwagari ki surat

ab KHayal us ka wahan aankhon mein phirta hai meri

koi phirta tha jahan kabk-e-dari ki surat

us ke jaane se mera dil hai mere sine mein

dam ka mehman charagh-e-sahari ki surat

ne KHabar us ko meri pahunche hai ne us ki mujhe

bandh gai hai ajab ek be-KHabari ki surat

nam lun kis ka ki ek gul ke liye jate hain

ashk aankhon se aqiq-e-jigari ki surat

'mushafi' hai yahi ab soch ki dekhen to falak

phir bhi dikhlaega yar-e-safari ki surat
