ek udasi dil par chhai rahti hai
mere kamre mein tanhai rahti hai

sine mein ek dard bhi rahta hai bedar
aankhon mein kuchh nind bhi aai rahti hai

dil-dariya ki thah bataen kya jis mein
sat samundar ki gahrai rahti hai

hum bhi isi basti ke rahne rahne wale hain
jis mein teri be-parwai rahti hai

pahlu mein ab 'saif' mera kya baqi hai
dil hai jis mein yaad parai rahti hai
