Mere ansuoon pe nazar na kar....

 

Mere ansuoon pe nazar na kar
Mera shikwa sun ke Khafa na ho,

Use zindgi ka bhi haq nahi
Jise dard-e-ishq mila na ho,

Ye inayatain ye nawazishain
Mere dard-e-dil ki dawa nahi,

Mujhe us nazar ki talash hai
Jo ada shanas-e-wafa na ho,

Tujhe kya bataon mai beKhabar
Ki hai dard-e-ishq main kya asar,

Ye hai wo latif si kaifiya
Tu jo zuban tak aye ada na ho,

Ye sharab rez-e-hasi ghata
Jo hai "Kaif" nazish-e-maykada,

Kisi tashna-kam ki arzoo
Kisi tashna-lab ki dua na ho.
