mere aa.Nsuuo.n pe nazar na kar meraa shikavaa sun ke Khafaa na ho
use zindagii kaa bhii haq nahii.n jise dard-e-ishq milaa na ho

ye inaayate.n ye navaazishe.n mere dard-e-dil kii davaa nahii.n
mujhe us nazar kii talaash hai jo adaa shanaas-e-vafaa na ho

tujhe kyaa bataauu.N mai.n beKhabar ki hai dard-e-ishq me.n kyaa asar
ye hai vo latiif sii kaifiyat jo zubaa.N tak aaye adaa na ho

ye sharaab rez-e-hasii.n ghaTaa jo hai "Kaif" naazish-e-mayakadaa
kisii tashnaa-kaam kii aarazuu kisii tashnaa-lab kii duaa na ho
