yaadgar-e-guzishtagan hain hum
yādgār-e-guzishtagāñ haiñ ham
ḳhuub dekhā to phir kahāñ haiñ ham
sham.a kī tarah bazm-e-gītī meñ
daaġh baiThe haiñ aur ravāñ haiñ ham
rahe jaate haiñ pīchhe yāroñ se
gard-e-dumbāl-e-kārvāñ haiñ ham
rakh na ḳhanjar ko haath se qātil
tere kushtoñ meñ nīm-jāñ haiñ ham
ābiyār-e-suḳhan hai apnī zabāñ
lafz o ma.anī ke bāġhbāñ haiñ ham
tū hī tū hai jo ḳhuub ġhaur kareñ
ek dhokā sā darmiyāñ haiñ ham
dāvat-e-teġh ke to qābil haiñ
go ki yak-musht-e-ustuḳhāñ haiñ ham
rañg-e-ruḳh par hamāre, zardī sī
nazar aatī hai, kyā ḳhizāñ haiñ ham
go kiyā ham ko sard piirī ne
par abhī tab.a meñ javāñ haiñ ham
aur bhī ham ko rahne de chande
go tirī tab.a par girāñ haiñ ham
bāġhbāñ ab chaman se jāveñ kahāñ
bulbul-e-kohna āshiyāñ haiñ ham
'mus.hafī' shā.erī rahī hai kahāñ
ab to majlis ke rauza-ḳhvāñ haiñ ham
yaadgar-e-guzishtagan hain hum
KHub dekha to phir kahan hain hum
shama ki tarah bazm-e-giti mein
dagh baiThe hain aur rawan hain hum
rahe jate hain pichhe yaron se
gard-e-dumbaal-e-karwan hain hum
rakh na KHanjar ko hath se qatil
tere kushton mein nim-jaan hain hum
aabiyar-e-suKHan hai apni zaban
lafz o mani ke baghban hain hum
tu hi tu hai jo KHub ghaur karen
ek dhoka sa darmiyan hain hum
dawat-e-tegh ke to qabil hain
go ki yak-musht-e-ustuKHan hain hum
rang-e-ruKH par hamare, zardi si
nazar aati hai, kya KHizan hain hum
go kiya hum ko sard piri ne
par abhi taba mein jawan hain hum
aur bhi hum ko rahne de chande
go teri taba par giran hain hum
baghban ab chaman se jawen kahan
bulbul-e-kohna aashiyan hain hum
'mushafi' shaeri rahi hai kahan
ab to majlis ke rauza-KHwan hain hum
