mast ghata mandlai hui hai
bagh pe masti chhai hui hai

jhum rahi hain aam ki shakhen
nind si jaise aai hui hai

bolta hai rah rah ke papiha
barq si ek lahrai hui hai

lahke hue hain phul shafaq ke
aatish-e-tar chhalkai hui hai

sher mere ban ban ke huwaida
qaus ki har angdai hui hai

rengte hain khamosh tarane
mauj-e-hawa bal khai hui hai

raunaq-e-alam sar hai jhukae
jaise dulhan sharmai hui hai

ghas pe gum-sum baitha hai 'kaifi'
yaad kisi ki aai hui hai
