kuchh to rangini-e-afkar khule
'saif' chal matla-e-anwar khule

barg-e-gul jaise hawa ke rukh par
kis latafat se lab-e-yar khule

tu zara band-e-qaba khol to de
jauhar-e-nafa-e-tatar khule

dekh ai kucha-e-jaanan ki hawa
dil ke darwaze kai bar khule

zakhm-e-dil hum ne chhupae warna
teri aankhon ne kiye war khule

wah kya dhang hain sayyaadon ke
log phirte hain giraftar khule

kya isi tarah guzar jaegi
kuchh to un par bhi dil-e-zar khule

hasrat-e-did pas-e-marg na puchh
rah gae dida-e-bedar khule

lab-e-khamosh ko wa kar zalim
ye hai iqrar ki inkar khule

saf bakhshe gae wo hashr ke din
jo nazar aae gunahgar khule

kabe ja kar bhi hamein kashf hua
but-kade mein bhi kuchh asrar khule

hum bhi qismat ka likha dekhenge
'saif' chal nama-e-dildar khule
