dete hain mere jam mein dekhen sharab kab
aata hai mahtab ke ghar aaftab kab

thahra hai ek jagah dil-e-khana-kharab kab
dariya mein ghar bana ke raha hai habab kab

jab chhod di umid to wo mehrban hue
nakaamiyon mein bakht hua kaamyab kab

dekha hai wasl-e-ghair mein shab un ko dekhiye
ulta asar dikhati hai tabir-e-khwab kab

'kaifi' ko rind jaan ke jaane nahin diya
hai bargah-e-khas mein wo baryab kab
