har ek kamal ko dekha jo humne ru ba-zawal
har ik kamāl ko dekhā jo ham ne rū ba-zavāl
sisak ke rah ga.ī siine meñ ārzū-e-kamāl
ham apnī Dūbtī qadroñ ke saath Duub ga.e
milegī ab to kitāboñ meñ bas hamārī misāl
hue anā ke dikhāve se log sar afrāz
anā ne sar ko uThā kar kiyā hameñ pāmāl
zarā sī umr meñ kis kis kā hal talāsh kareñ
khaḌe haiñ rāsta roke hue hazār savāl
mire ḳhulūs kā yāroñ ne aasrā le kar
kiyā hai ḳhuub mirī dostī kā istehsāl
bujhā bujhā sā yahī dil hai is shabāb kī raakh
ragoñ meñ dauḌ rahī thī jo ātish-e-sayyāl
mile vo lamha jise apnā kah sakeñ 'kaifī'
guzar rahe haiñ isī justujū meñ māh-o-sāl
har ek kamal ko dekha jo hum ne ru ba-zawal
sisak ke rah gai sine mein aarzu-e-kamal
hum apni Dubti qadron ke sath Dub gae
milegi ab to kitabon mein bas hamari misal
hue ana ke dikhawe se log sar afraaz
ana ne sar ko uTha kar kiya hamein pamal
zara si umr mein kis kis ka hal talash karen
khaDe hain rasta roke hue hazar sawal
mere KHulus ka yaron ne aasra le kar
kiya hai KHub meri dosti ka istehsal
bujha bujha sa yahi dil hai is shabab ki rakh
ragon mein dauD rahi thi jo aatish-e-sayyal
mile wo lamha jise apna kah saken 'kaifi'
guzar rahe hain isi justuju mein mah-o-sal
