KHushi ki aarzu kya dil mein Thahre
tere gham ne biTha rakkhe hain pahre
kahan chhoD aai meri tira-baKHti
wo raaten nur ki wo din sunahre
meri jaanib na dekho muskura kar
hue jate hain dil ke zaKHm gahre
nazar par tirgi chhai hui hai
magar aankhon mein hain sapne sunahre
jidhar bhi dekhta hun 'kaif' udhar hi
ghire hain gham ke baadal gahre gahre
Ghazal
KHushi ki aarzu kya dil mein Thahre
