aaj phir shāḳh se gire patte
aur miTTī meñ mil ga.e patte
jaane kis dasht kī talāsh meñ haiñ
regzāroñ meñ chīḳhte patte
kal jinheñ āsmāñ pe dekhā thā
aaj pātāl meñ mile patte
apnī āvāz hī se ḳhauf-zada
shāḳh-dar-shāḳh kāñpte patte
mujh ko ik barg-e-ḳhushk bhī na milā
ab kahāñ baaġh meñ hare patte
saare gulshan ko de ga.e sonā
aur ḳhud ḳhaak ban ga.e patte
'kaif' vīrānī-e-gulistāñ bhī
ba.az auqāt le uḌe patte
