hae logon ki karam-farmaiyan
tohmaten badnamiyan ruswaiyan
zindagi shayad isi ka nam hai
duriyan majburiyan tanhaiyan
kya zamane mein yun hi kaTti hai raat
karwaTen betabiyan angDaiyan
kya yahi hoti hai sham-e-intizar
aahaTen ghabrahaTen parchhaiyan
ek rind-e-mast ki Thokar mein hain
shahiyan sultaniyan daraiyan
ek paikar mein simaT kar rah gain
KHubiyan zebaiyan ranaiyan
rah gain ek tifl-e-maktab ke huzur
hikmaten aagahiyan danaiyan
zaKHm dil ke phir hare karne lagin
badliyan barkha ruten purwaiyan
dida-o-danista un ke samne
laghzishen nakaamiyan paspaiyan
mere dil ki dhaDkanon mein Dhal gain
chuDiyan mausiqiyan shahnaiyan
un se mil kar aur bhi kuchh baDh gain
uljhanen fikren qayas-araiyan
'kaif' paida kar samundar ki tarah
wusaten KHamoshiyan gahraiyan
Ghazal
Hae logon ki karam-farmaiyan
