jazba-e-shauq badhata hai juda ho jaana
upri dil se zara mujh se khafa ho jaana

qaus sajde mein jhuki rah gai jab se dekha
un ki angdai ka mehrab-numa ho jaana

dam ka kya thik hai dam-bhar mein hai dam-bhar mein nahin
chalte phirte meri baalin pe zara ho jaana

mausam-e-gul mein unhen ghair idhar le aae
kaam aaya mere zakhmon ka hara ho jaana

band hai 'ishq ke bandon ke liye aazadi
qaid hai qaid-e-mohabbat se riha ho jaana

un ke tewar bhi zara dekhte rahna qasid
khat ke purze jo nazar aaen hawa ho jaana

khel hai hasti-e-fani ka digar-gun ho kar
nur mein nur fazaon mein faza ho jaana

kuchh to ai rahmat-e-saqi rahe 'kaifi' ka khayal
aa ke maikhane pe chhana to ghata ho jaana
