DhunDhne Se Yun to Is Duniya Mein Kya Milta Nahin

Dattatriya Kaifi

DhunDhne se yuun to is duniya men kya milta nahin

sach agar puchho to sachcha ashna milta nahin

aap ke jo yaar bante hain vo hain matlab ke yaar

is zamane men muhibb-e-ba-safa milta nahin

siraton men bhi hai insanon ki baham iḳhtilaf

ek se surat men jaise dusra milta nahin

dair o kaaba men bhaTakte phir rahe hain raat din

DhunDhne se bhi to bandon ko ḳhuda milta nahin

hain pareshan aur hairan jaa.en to jaa.en kidhar

rah-gum-gashton ko manzil ka pata milta nahin

bul-havas dil ki tarah har rang hai sarf-e-shikast

laala o gul men bhi rang-e-der-pa milta nahin

hai yahan to sair-e-gulzar-e-ḳhayal nau-ba-nau

haan asiro ham ko mazmun kuchh naya milta nahin

roiye rona zamane ka to ‘kaifi’ kis ke paas

koi is dil ke siva dard-ashna milta nahin
