nahin dete kabhi duniya ko dil ahl-e-nazar apna
kabhi murghab tar karta nahin pani se par apna

fana ki rau mein buniyaaden na thahrin qasr-e-hasti ki
hua is mauj-e-tufan-khez se barbaad ghar apna

jahan mein ruh ko tan se dikhawe ki mohabbat thi
na tha wo ham-safar samjhe the jis ko ham-safar hum apna

bata dun kya tujhe zahid jo dekha hai wo dekha hai
teri aankhon mein kyunkar dal dun zauq-e-nazar apna

usi bansi ke naghmon ki abhi mushtaq hai jamuna
ki maujen aaj tak sahil se takraati hain sar apna

khayal-e-yar ne marqad pe kar di nur ki barish
muqaddar ka sitara ban gaya dagh-e-jigar apna

mere jam-e-subuhi mein asar 'kaifi' dikhata hai
kabhi rang-e-shafaq apna kabhi nur-e-sahar apna
