imtihan zabt ka phir bazm-e-gah-e-naz mein hai
jalwa-e-tur nigah-e-ghalat-andaz mein hai

ahl-e-dil dida-e-tar dekh ke pahchan gae
main samajhta tha meri baat abhi raaz mein hai

aashiyane ko nahin barq-nawazi se panah
ek hi lutf wahi soz mein hai saz mein hai

mere mitne ka karen sog kisi ke dushman
kyun udasi si kisi jalwa-gah-e-naz mein hai

jaan-e-naghma hai mere tute hue dil ki sada
ek yahi tar-e-shikasta hai jo har saz mein hai

gul-o-bulbul se adawat nahin 'kaifi' lekin
kyun hun bezar chaman se ye abhi raaz mein hai
