Zindagi Ka Kis Liye Matam Rahe

Dattatriya Kaifi

zindagi ka kis liye matam rahe

mulk basta hai miTe ya ham rahe

dil rahe piiri men bhi tera javan

aḳhiri dam tak yahi dam-ḳham rahe

chahiye insan ka dil ho ghani

paas maal o zar bahut ya kam rahe

kya isi jannat ki ye tahris hai

jis men kuchh din hazrat-e-adam rahe

vasl se matlab na rakh tu ishq ka

dam bhare ja dam men jab tak dam rahe

laag ik din ban ke rahti hai lagav

haan lagavaT kuchh na kuchh baham rahe

ishq ne jis dil pe qabza kar liya

phir kahan us men nashat o gham rahe

sharq se jab nuur chamka to kahan

barg-e-gul par qatra-e-shabnam rahe

husn ki duniya ka hai daa.em shabab

hashr tak us ka yahi aalam rahe

hai surur-e-husn ‘kaifi’ la-yazal

dar-ḳhur-e-zarf us men besh o kam rahe
