jag uThe baam-o-dar charagh jale

jag uthe baam-o-dar charagh jale
kaun aaya idhar charagh jale
din ki pamal fikr ko hai shart
teri jaanib safar charagh jale


zulf-e-tufan se yun bhi chhed sahi
wo bujhae idhar charagh jale
din mein wo jism hai junun-afroz
ek qayamat magar charagh jale


waiz-o-mohtasib bhi jam-ba-lab
hum ko aae nazar charagh jale
aakhir-e-shab dilon pe hai bhaari
ham-nafas ta sahar charagh jale


sarguzasht-e-wafa hai tulani
bas yahi mukhtasar charagh jale
aaj mehman hai ek shab-afroz
aarzuon ka har charagh jale


zindagi shab-charagh hai 'saifi'
ab raqibon ke ghar charagh jale
