sard jazbe bujhe bujhe chehre
jism zinda hain mar gae chehre

aaj ke daur ki alamat hain
falsafi zehn sochte chehre

sail-e-gham se bhi saf ho na sake
gard-alud malgaje chehre

yakh-zada soch ke darichon mein
kis ne dekhe hain kanpte chehre

ek baras bhi abhi nahin guzra
kitni jaldi badal gae chehre

main ne aksar khud apne chehre par
dusron ke saja liye chehre

wo to nikle bahut hi bad-surat
'kaif' dekhe the jo saje chehre
