phail rahe hain waqt ke sae
dekhen raat kahan tak jae

dida-o-dil ki baat na puchho
ek lagae ek bujhae

aaj ye hai mausam ka taqaza
zulf teri khul kar lahrae

in aankhon se moti barse
in honton ne phul khilae

dekh-bhaal kar zahr piya hai
soch-samajh kar dhoke khae

aaj wo tanha raat kati hai
aansu tak aankhon mein na aae

'saif' zamana samjhata hai
kaun apne hain kaun parae
