taqdir-e-shama jalwa-e-jaanana ban gaya
shoala utha jo us se to parda na ban gaya

jo haal-e-dil tha kaif mein tasir-e-dard tha
wo kahte kahte shauq ka afsana ban gaya

jannat ki aarzu se hai jannat ka kal wajud
virana kah diya jise virana ban gaya

yak qatra dil tha mast ka paimana-e-nasib
saqi ne ki nigah to mai-khana ban gaya

mauqa-shanas husn-e-mohabbat ke bab mein
apna tha aur hashr mein begana ban gaya

us ki talab mein jab na raha us ka kuchh lihaz
andaz-e-be-qarar gadayana ban gaya

yun apne dar se tal diya us ke naz ne
andaz-e-lutf-e-khas karimana ban gaya

'kaifi' haram ke dar pe tha jo kuchh wo faiz tha
han but-kade mein sajda-e-shukrana ban gaya
