parda-dar hasti thi zat ke samundar mein
parda-dār hastī thī zaat ke samundar meñ
husn ḳhuub khul khelā is sifat ke manzar meñ
husn ishq meñ hai yā ishq husn meñ muzmar
jauhar aa.ine meñ yā ā.īna hai jauhar meñ
ishq-e-mahshar-ārā kī tuur par girī bijlī
husn-e-lan-tarānī ki rah sakā na chādar meñ
dekh ai tamāshā.ī gul hai rañg-o-bū bilkul
imtiyāz nā-mumkin hai arz se jauhar meñ
gul meñ aur bulbul meñ kaun jaane kyā guzrī
chashm-posh mastī thī is barahna manzar meñ
upchī banāte haiñ husn ko suḳhan go kyuuñ
kaaT in adāoñ kā kab hai teġh-o-ḳhanjar meñ
fart-e-soz-e-ulfat meñ dekh kar sakūñ dil kā
bijliyāñ machaltī haiñ bādaloñ ke mahshar meñ
chāragar ko hairat hai irtiqa-e-vahsaht se
paañv meñ jo chakkar thā aa rahā hai vo sar meñ
hasrat ārmān kī ho kahnā se gunjā.ish
hai vahī mire dil meñ hai vahī mire sar meñ
hoñ vo riñd yā suufī mast us kī dhun meñ haiñ
jaane kitne mai-ḳhāne bhar diye haiñ kausar meñ
charḳh kyā utar aayā aaj farsh-e-gītī par
riñd bhī haiñ chakkar meñ mai-kada bhī chakkar meñ
mai vo hosh par afgan aur nazar vo sahbā-pāsh
mast kyuuñ na ho 'kaifī' ek do hī sāġhar meñ
parda-dar hasti thi zat ke samundar mein
husn KHub khul khela is sifat ke manzar mein
husn ishq mein hai ya ishq husn mein muzmar
jauhar aaine mein ya aaina hai jauhar mein
ishq-e-mahshar-ara ki tur par giri bijli
husn-e-lan-tarani ki rah saka na chadar mein
dekh ai tamashai gul hai rang-o-bu bilkul
imtiyaz na-mumkin hai arz se jauhar mein
gul mein aur bulbul mein kaun jaane kya guzri
chashm-posh masti thi is barahna manzar mein
upchi banate hain husn ko suKHan go kyun
kaT in adaon ka kab hai tegh-o-KHanjar mein
fart-e-soz-e-ulfat mein dekh kar sakun dil ka
bijliyan machalti hain baadalon ke mahshar mein
chaaragar ko hairat hai irtiqa-e-wahsaht se
panw mein jo chakkar tha aa raha hai wo sar mein
hasrat aarman ki ho kahna se gunjaish
hai wahi mere dil mein hai wahi mere sar mein
hon wo rind ya sufi mast us ki dhun mein hain
jaane kitne mai-KHane bhar diye hain kausar mein
charKH kya utar aaya aaj farsh-e-giti par
rind bhi hain chakkar mein mai-kada bhi chakkar mein
mai wo hosh par afgan aur nazar wo sahba-pash
mast kyun na ho 'kaifi' ek do hi saghar mein
