the mere zakhmon ke aaine tamam
dagh-dagh aae nazar sine tamam

sab nazar aate hain chehre gard gard
kya hue be-ab aaine tamam

ek manzil aur hai ek jast aur
aadmi tai kar chuka zine tamam

maut le kar ek aandhi aai thi
kho diye insan basti ne tamam

tazgi chehre pe ab to laiye
pi liya hai zahr 'kaifi' ne tamam
