dariya ki mauj hi mein nahin iztirab hai
dariyā kī mauj hī meñ nahīñ iztirāb hai
sañg-e-ravāñ ke dil meñ bhī ik zaḳhm-e-āb hai
har fard aaj TūTte lamhoñ ke shor meñ
asr-e-ravāñ kī jāgtī ā.ankhoñ kā ḳhvāb hai
vo ḳhud hī apnī aag meñ jal kar fanā huā
jis saa.e kī talāsh meñ ye āftāb hai
ab koī nisf daam pe bhī pūchhtā nahīñ
ye zindagī nisāb se ḳhārij kitāb hai
palkoñ pe aaj niiñd kī kircheñ bikhar ga.iiñ
shīshe kī aañkh meñ koī patthar kā ḳhvāb hai
ai 'kaif' nā-qadoñ ke ta.assub ke bāvajūd
merā har ek sher adab kī kitāb hai
dariya ki mauj hi mein nahin iztirab hai
sang-e-rawan ke dil mein bhi ek zaKHm-e-ab hai
har fard aaj TuTte lamhon ke shor mein
asr-e-rawan ki jagti aaankhon ka KHwab hai
wo KHud hi apni aag mein jal kar fana hua
jis sae ki talash mein ye aaftab hai
ab koi nisf dam pe bhi puchhta nahin
ye zindagi nisab se KHarij kitab hai
palkon pe aaj nind ki kirchen bikhar gain
shishe ki aankh mein koi patthar ka KHwab hai
ai 'kaif' na-qadon ke tassub ke bawajud
mera har ek sher adab ki kitab hai
