mere aansuon pe nazar na kar mera shikwa sun ke KHafa na ho
use zindagi ka bhi haq nahin jise dard-e-ishq mila na ho
ye inayaten ye nawazishen mere dard-e-dil ki dawa nahin
mujhe us nazar ki talash hai jo ada-shanas-e-wafa na ho
tujhe kya bataun main be-KHabar ki hai dard-e-ishq mein kya asar
ye hai wo latif si kaifiyat jo zaban tak aae ada na ho
ye sharab zer-e-hasin-ghaTa jo hai 'kaif' nazish-e-mai-kada
kisi tishna-kaam ki aarzu kisi tishna-lab ki dua na ho
Ghazal
Mere aansuon pe nazar na kar mera shikwa sun ke KHafa na ho
Kaif Ikrami
