Kwaab thaa yaa Kayaal thaa kyaa thaa
hijr thaa yaa visaal thaa kyaa thaa

chamakii bijalii sii par na samajhe ham
husn thaa yaa jamaal thaa kyaa thaa

jisako ham roz-e-hijr samajhe the
maah thaa wo ki saal thaa kyaa thaa

"musahafii" kal jo chup saa baiThaa thaa
kyaa tujhe kuchh malaal thaa kyaa thaa
