gunjaish-e-kalam kahan khair-o-shar mein hai
jab tum bashar mein ho to sabhi kuchh bashar mein hai

yun to zalil-o-khwar har ek ki nazar mein hai
bande ki shan chashm-e-haqiqat-nigar mein hai

gham-khwar ban gae hain chhidakte the jo namak
kuchh aisi chashni mere zakhm-e-jigar mein hai

arz-o-sama hai waqf-e-nigah-e-umid-o-yas
duniya ki unch-nich hamari nazar mein hai

'kaifi' hai sau barun ka bura phir bhi sach kaho
aisa bhi koi shakhs tumhaari nazar mein hai
