na de fareb-e-wafa le na imtihan apna
hai be-niyaz-e-karam yar-e-bad-guman apna

pahunch chuke the sar-e-shakh-e-gul asir hue
luta hai samne manzil ke karwan apna

har ek zarra-e-alam hai aur sajda-e-shauq
rakhen utha ke wo ab sang-e-astan apna

wahi hai aalam-e-afsurdagi wahi hum hain
khushi ka jis mein guzar ho wo dil kahan apna

nigah-e-yas hai tafsir-e-sad-hazar niyaz
sukut lakh bayanon ka ek bayan apna

fareb hi sahi taskin kuchh to hai dil ko
rahe khuda kare qaem yunhi guman apna

wafa ka nam hi duniya se uth chuka 'kaifi'
kahan zamane mein ab koi qadr-dan apna
