munh chhupao na tum naqab mein jaan
muñh chhupāo na tum naqāb meñ jaan
yūñhī āshiq kī hai azaab meñ jaan
juuñ sī chuTkī meñ le ke mal Daalī
ham se āshiq kī hai azaab meñ jaan
ḳhūbī-e-husn ne tirī na rakhī
baaqī ik zarra shaiḳh o shaab meñ jaan
kis kī zulfoñ ke pech-o-tāb se hai
raat din merī pech-o-tāb meñ jaan
saḳht mushtāq hai tumhārā dil
muñh dikhāo kabhī to ḳhvāb meñ jaan
ek din tum ne kī na baat kabhū
mar ga.e ham to is hijāb meñ jaan
nit tire intizār-e-ġhusl se hai
bahr ke dīda-e-hubāb meñ jaan
mah ne ai shahsavār-e-arsa-e-husn
āqibat dī tirī rikāb meñ jaan
us ne bhar kar nigāh dekhā thā
nahīñ us din se āftāb meñ jaan
sar-e-ātish jo ashk-e-rezāñ thā
kisī āshiq kī thī kabāb meñ jaan
'mus.hafī' thā zi-bas-ki āshiq-e-sher
marte marte rahī kitāb meñ jaan
munh chhupao na tum naqab mein jaan
yunhi aashiq ki hai azab mein jaan
jun si chuTki mein le ke mal Dali
hum se aashiq ki hai azab mein jaan
KHubi-e-husn ne teri na rakhi
baqi ek zarra shaiKH o shab mein jaan
kis ki zulfon ke pech-o-tab se hai
raat din meri pech-o-tab mein jaan
saKHt mushtaq hai tumhaara dil
munh dikhao kabhi to KHwab mein jaan
ek din tum ne ki na baat kabhu
mar gae hum to is hijab mein jaan
nit tere intizar-e-ghusl se hai
bahr ke dida-e-hubab mein jaan
mah ne ai shahsawar-e-arsa-e-husn
aaqibat di teri rikab mein jaan
us ne bhar kar nigah dekha tha
nahin us din se aaftab mein jaan
sar-e-atish jo ashk-e-rezan tha
kisi aashiq ki thi kabab mein jaan
'mushafi' tha zi-bas-ki aashiq-e-sher
marte marte rahi kitab mein jaan
