koi nahin aata samjhane
ab aaram se hain diwane

tai na hue dil ke virane
thak kar baith gae diwane

majburi sab ko hoti hai
milna ho to lakh bahane

ban na saki ahbab se apni
wo dana the hum diwane

nai nai ummiden aa kar
chhed rahi hain zakhm purane

jalwa-e-jaanan ki tafsiren
ek haqiqat lakh fasane

duniya bhar ka dard saha hai
hum ne tere gham ke bahane

phir wahshat aai suljhane
hosh o khirad ke tane-bane

phir apne aanchal se hawa di
shoala-e-gul ko baad-e-saba ne

phir wo dal gae daman mein
dard ki daulat gham ke khazane

aaj phir aankhon mein phirte hain
ahd-e-tamanna ke virane

phir tanhai puchh rahi hai
kaun aae dil ko bahlane

'saif' wo gham bhi tishna-e-khun hai
hum zinda hain jis ke bahane
