chahta hun phunk dun is shahr ko

saya hai kam khajur ke unche daraKHt ka

janab-e-kaif ye dilli hai mir o ghaalib ki

idhar aa raqib mere main tujhe gale laga lun

chaar jaanib dekh kar sach boliye

chalte hain bach ke shaiKH o barhaman ke sae se

tum se mil kar imli miThi lagti hai

kaif pardes mein mat yaad karo apna makan

wo din bhi hae kya din the jab apna bhi talluq tha

dar-o-diwar pe shaklen si banane aai

man ki aaghosh mein kal maut ki aaghosh mein aaj

kaif paida kar samundar ki tarah

aapne jhuTa wada kar ke

dagh duniya ne diye zaKHm zamane se mile

kaise manen ki unhen bhul gaya tu ai kaif
