har aarzu mein rang hai bagh-o-bahaar ka
kanta bhi ek phul hai us khar-zar ka

kuchh is tarah se aao ki dil ko khabar na ho
kuchh wasl mein bhi lutf rahe intizar ka

bu-e-wafa na dhundhiye lala ke dagh mein
kya ye bhi koi dil hai kisi dil-figar ka

laghzish hui to panw pe saqi ke gir pade
behoshiyon se kaam liya hoshiyar ka

sar-chashma-e-sarab fareb-e-majaz hai
kya e'tibar zindagi-e-mustaar ka

irfan ki raushni se kudurat chali gai
aaina ban gaya mere musht-e-ghubar ka

daur-e-shabab ki wo tarangen kahan gain
khamyaza dekhta hai ye 'kaifi' khumar ka
