zindagi ka kis liye matam rahe
zindagī kā kis liye mātam rahe
mulk bastā hai miTe yā ham rahe
dil rahe piirī meñ bhī terā javāñ
āḳhirī dam tak yahī dam-ḳham rahe
chāhiye insān kā dil ho ġhanī
paas maal o zar bahut yā kam rahe
kyā isī jannat kī ye tahrīs hai
jis meñ kuchh din hazrat-e-ādam rahe
vasl se matlab na rakh tū ishq kā
dam bhare jā dam meñ jab tak dam rahe
laag ik din ban ke rahtī hai lagāv
haañ lagāvaT kuchh na kuchh bāham rahe
ishq ne jis dil pe qabza kar liyā
phir kahāñ us meñ nashāt o ġham rahe
sharq se jab nuur chamkā to kahāñ
barg-e-gul par qatra-e-shabnam rahe
husn kī duniyā kā hai daa.em shabāb
hashr tak us kā yahī aalam rahe
hai surūr-e-husn 'kaifī' lā-yazāl
dar-ḳhur-e-zarf us meñ besh o kam rahe
zindagi ka kis liye matam rahe
mulk basta hai miTe ya hum rahe
dil rahe piri mein bhi tera jawan
aaKHiri dam tak yahi dam-KHam rahe
chahiye insan ka dil ho ghani
pas mal o zar bahut ya kam rahe
kya isi jannat ki ye tahris hai
jis mein kuchh din hazrat-e-adam rahe
wasl se matlab na rakh tu ishq ka
dam bhare ja dam mein jab tak dam rahe
lag ek din ban ke rahti hai lagaw
han lagawaT kuchh na kuchh baham rahe
ishq ne jis dil pe qabza kar liya
phir kahan us mein nashat o gham rahe
sharq se jab nur chamka to kahan
barg-e-gul par qatra-e-shabnam rahe
husn ki duniya ka hai daem shabab
hashr tak us ka yahi aalam rahe
hai surur-e-husn 'kaifi' la-yazal
dar-KHur-e-zarf us mein besh o kam rahe
