habs ke dinon mein bhi ghar se kab nikalte hain
daere ke andar hi raste badalte hain

khun jalta rahta hai ganw ke jawanon ka
kar-khane shahron ke kab dhuan ugalte hain

tere nam ka tara jaane kab dikhai de
ek jhalak ki khatir hum raat bhar tahalte hain

ab safar koi bhi ho main kahan akela hun
tere chand suraj bhi sath sath chalte hain

ain dopahar mein bhi sar pe tera saya hai
tujh ko bhul jaen to chandni mein jalte hain

khul gae hain phir shayad rahmaton ke darwaze
hadse kahan warna talne se talte hain

nind ke nagar se to rabta nahin tuta
fikr-e-sher mein 'saifi' karwaten badalte hain
