sard jazbe bujhe bujhe chehre
jism zinda haiñ mar ga.e chehre
aaj ke daur kī alāmat haiñ
falsafī zehn sochte chehre
sail-e-ġham se bhī saaf ho na sake
gard-ālūd malgaje chehre
yaḳh-zada soch ke darīchoñ meñ
kis ne dekhe haiñ kāñpte chehre
ik baras bhī abhī nahīñ guzrā
kitnī jaldī badal ga.e chehre
maiñ ne aksar ḳhud apne chehre par
dūsroñ ke sajā liye chehre
vo to nikle bahut hī bad-sūrat
'kaif' dekhe the jo saje chehre
sard jazbe bujhe bujhe chehre
jism zinda hain mar gae chehre
aaj ke daur ki alamat hain
falsafi zehn sochte chehre
sail-e-gham se bhi saf ho na sake
gard-alud malgaje chehre
yaKH-zada soch ke darichon mein
kis ne dekhe hain kanpte chehre
ek baras bhi abhi nahin guzra
kitni jaldi badal gae chehre
main ne aksar KHud apne chehre par
dusron ke saja liye chehre
wo to nikle bahut hi bad-surat
'kaif' dekhe the jo saje chehre
