maqsad hāsil nahīñ ho yā ho
jo honā hai jald ai ḳhudā ho

ulfat hai pās-e-vaz.a kā naam
marte mar jaao par nibāho

dil meñ nahīñ ḳhuub mail rakhnā
jo shikva gila ho barmalā ho

kyā hotā hai farsh boriyā se
lāzim hai ki qalb be-riyā ho

ik jaam hī to pilā de lillāh
ai pīr-e-muġhāñ terā bhalā ho

darkār use madad hai kis kī
jis ko allāh kā aasrā ho

us dil kī jalan jo dekh paa.e
sham-e-sozāñ charāġh-pā ho

kyā aur bhalā kahūñ maiñ tum ko
tum hazrat-e-ishq bad-balā ho

kahne ko to kah ga.e ho sab kuchh
ab koī javāb de to kyā ho

dil ziist se sard ho gayā hai
ai soz-e-jigar tirā burā ho

be-aib koī nahīñ hai 'kaifī'
gar ho to vo zāt-e-kibriyā ho

maqsad hasil nahin ho ya ho
jo hona hai jald ai KHuda ho

ulfat hai pas-e-waza ka nam
marte mar jao par nibaho

dil mein nahin KHub mail rakhna
jo shikwa gila ho barmala ho

kya hota hai farsh boriya se
lazim hai ki qalb be-riya ho

ek jam hi to pila de lillah
ai pir-e-mughan tera bhala ho

darkar use madad hai kis ki
jis ko allah ka aasra ho

us dil ki jalan jo dekh pae
sham-e-sozan charagh-pa ho

kya aur bhala kahun main tum ko
tum hazrat-e-ishq bad-bala ho

kahne ko to kah gae ho sab kuchh
ab koi jawab de to kya ho

dil zist se sard ho gaya hai
ai soz-e-jigar tera bura ho

be-aib koi nahin hai 'kaifi'
gar ho to wo zat-e-kibriya ho
