sarkhushi mere liye asbab-e-gham mere liye
maujzan hai jaise dariya-e-karam mere liye

har sitam mere liye hai har karam mere liye
husn ke jalwe hain sare besh-o-kam mere liye

kya haqiqat hai gham-e-hasti ki mere samne
aae din hi gardan-e-mina hai kham mere liye

ishq ki be-tabiyan hain husn ki ranaiyan
ho gae hain zist ke saman baham mere liye

khud pasheman hun main apne nala-e-shab-gir par
uf wo chashm-e-kaif-agin aur nam mere liye

dil ki azmat kya kahun dil ki haqiqat kya kahun
jaise ham-aghosh hon dair-o-haram mere liye

ishq ki mojiz-numai 'kaif' ab kya puchhiye
bar-e-hasti ho gaya hai khud hi kam mere liye
