shuur-o-fikr ki gahraiyon se haar gaya
main wo badan hun jo parchhaiyon se haar gaya

jise tamam zamana na kar saka qail
wo khud zamir ki sachchaiyon se haar gaya

meri jadon ko chala hai wo khokhla karne
zamana jab meri unchaiyon se haar gaya

main dushmanon se bhi nazren mila nahin sakta
mera khulus mere bhaiyon se haar gaya

main teri mez pe rakkha hua ek aaina
hazar tarah ki binaiyon se haar gaya

nasib tab kahin tanhaiyan huin 'kaifi'
ye dil jab anjuman-araiyon se haar gaya
