lene lage jo chuTki yak-bar baiThe baiThe

lene lage jo chuTkī yak-bār baiThe baiThe

ye chheḌ kyā nikālī ai yaar baiThe baiThe

kal va.ada-gāh meñ jab vo bevafā na aayā

uktā ke uTh ga.e ham nā-chār baiThe baiThe

jo kuchh paḌhā hai ham ne ham āphī-āp us kī

ghar meñ kiyā kareñ haiñ takrār baiThe baiThe

ham ne to us ko hargiz yaaro kahā na thā kuchh

kuchh yūñhī ho gayā vo bezār baiThe baiThe

tujh bin to ham ne ve bhī bā-ḳhāmoshī adā kiiñ

yaad ā.ī.āñ jo bāteñ do-chār baiThe baiThe

ai 'mus.hafī' unhīñ meñ san.at nahīñ kuchh apnī

likh Daale ham ne kal ye ash.ār baiThe baiThe

lene lage jo chuTki yak-bar baiThe baiThe

ye chheD kya nikali ai yar baiThe baiThe

kal wada-gah mein jab wo bewafa na aaya

ukta ke uTh gae hum na-chaar baiThe baiThe

jo kuchh paDha hai hum ne hum aaphi-ap us ki

ghar mein kiya karen hain takrar baiThe baiThe

hum ne to us ko hargiz yaro kaha na tha kuchh

kuchh yunhi ho gaya wo bezar baiThe baiThe

tujh bin to hum ne we bhi ba-KHamoshi ada kin

yaad aaian jo baaten do-chaar baiThe baiThe

ai 'mushafi' unhin mein sanat nahin kuchh apni

likh Dale hum ne kal ye ashaar baiThe baiThe
