Poet Name: Abdur Rasheed Khan Kaifi Mahkari

na puchh ai ham-nafas afsana-e-ranj-o-mehan mera na hai bas men zaban meri na qaabu men dahan mera shamim-e-zulf ne mahka

na de fareb-e-vafa le na imtihan apna hai be-niyaz-e-karam yar-e-bad-guman apna pahunch chuke the sar-e-shakh-e-gul asiir hue luta hai samne

imtihan zabt ka phir bazm-e-gah-e-naz men hai jalva-e-tur nigah-e-ghalat-andaz men hai ahl-e-dil dida-e-tar dekh ke pahchan gae main samajhta tha

nae sire se phir aaj ‘kaifi’ ham apni duniya basa rahe hain jo kho chuke us se be-khabar hain jo

khayal-e-pursish-e-farda se ghabrana nahin aata gunah karta huun lekin mujh ko pachhtana nahin aata yaqin-e-daava-e-ulfat nahin maana nahin aata magar

udhar saba ne khabar di aa kar ki aaj abr-e-bahar aaya idhar gareban siye hue main chaman men divana-var aaya

har ghadi ik nai musibat hai un ka aana bhi kya qayamat hai dil hai nakamiyon ki lazzat hai na

atish-e-dil ko tez-tar dekha aah ka ham ne bhi asar dekha na mila tark-e-muddaa se sukun charagar ham ne ye

uth jaane par to jalve tumhare nihan kahan tar-e-nazar hai parda koi darmiyan kahan kul-kaenat kya hai ba-juz yas-o-arzu dil

aarzu ko salam karte hain dil ka qissa tamam karte hain aa sakega na lab pe raz-e-ishq husn ka ehtiram
