uf meri zindagi ki raat uf meri zindagi ke din
aisi na hai kisi ki raat aise na hain kisi ke din

rukh pe hai surkhi-e-haya rang-e-nigah-e-surmagin
jaan-e-bahaar ban gae husn ki sadgi ke din

zindagi umid-war ek ada itab ki
aankh mein kat gai thi raat hae wo barhami ke din

panw badha ke chal diya aur main dekhta raha
aah shabab-e-be-khatar hae hansi khushi ke din

'kaifi'-e-be-qarar ab dil se banegi kis tarah
hosh ki baat rah gai kat gae be-khudi ke din
