jalwe hon ru-ba-ru to tamasha kare koi
jab kuchh nazar na aae to phir kya kare koi

husn-e-latif kyon ho asir-e-nigah-e-shauq
hum khud ye chahte hain ki parda kare koi

sadha hijab-ha-e-tayyun ke bawajud
wo kya karen jo un ki tamanna kare koi

tharra ke rah gai hai meri kaenat-e-hosh
aise bhi samne se na guzra kare koi

kis kis se rah-e-dost mein daman chhudaiye
har zarra chahta hai ki sajda kare koi

har qalb muztarib hai magar un ki maslahat
duniya kharab-e-gham hai magar kya kare koi

meri nigah-e-shauq se is bazm-e-naz mein
wo husn aa raha hai ki dekha kare koi

dil aashna-e-gham ho to ai 'kaif' bazm-e-dahr
aisa nigar-khana hai dekha kare koi
