le uda rang falak jalwa-e-ranai ka
aks hai qaus-e-quzah mein teri angdai ka

is qadar naz hai kyun aap ko yaktai par
dusra nam hai ye bhi meri tanhai ka

ajab andaz se kuchh mohr-e-khamoshi tuti
wasf paida hua taswir mein goyai ka

khul raha hai teri rahmat ki badaulat warna
kaun tha dekhne wala gul-e-sahrai ka

ho gai mere gunahon ki siyahi maqbul
sang-e-aswad pe chadha rang jabin-sai ka

surat-e-yas se aaina-e-hairat ho kar
dekhte rah gae chehra wo tamannai ka

be-khudi dekh ke meri sar-e-mahfil puchha
nam mashhur hai 'kaifi' isi sahbai ka
