baiThe baiThe jo hum ai yar hanse aur roe

baiThe baiThe jo ham ai yaar hañse aur ro.e

aa gayā yaad to ik baar hañse aur ro.e

sher-e-tar paḌhne se yāroñ meñ hameñ kyā hāsil

magar itnā hai ki do-chār hañse aur ro.e

shādī o ġham kī jo uTh jaa.e jahāñ se rah-o-rasm

phir to koī bhī na zanhār hañse aur ro.e

nā-tavānī ne kiyā us ko to naqsh-e-qālīñ

kyā tirī chashm kā bīmār hañse aur ro.e

'mus.hafī' raat meñ afsāna-e-dil kahtā thā

sun ke ham-sā.e ka.ī baar hañse aur ro.e

baiThe baiThe jo hum ai yar hanse aur roe

aa gaya yaad to ek bar hanse aur roe

sher-e-tar paDhne se yaron mein hamein kya hasil

magar itna hai ki do-chaar hanse aur roe

shadi o gham ki jo uTh jae jahan se rah-o-rasm

phir to koi bhi na zanhaar hanse aur roe

na-tawani ne kiya us ko to naqsh-e-qalin

kya teri chashm ka bimar hanse aur roe

'mushafi' raat mein afsana-e-dil kahta tha

sun ke ham-sae kai bar hanse aur roe
