Sham

mast ghaTa manDlai hui hai

bagh pe masti chhai hui hai

jhum rahi hain aam ki shaKHen

nind si jaise aai hui hai

bolta hai rah rah ke papiha

barq si ek lahrai hui hai

lahke hue hain phul shafaq ke

aatish-e-tar chhalkai hui hai

sher mere ban ban ke huwaida

qaus ki har angDai hui hai

rengte hain KHamosh tarane

mauj-e-hawa bal khai hui hai

raunaq-e-alam sar hai jhukae

jaise dulhan sharmai hui hai

ghas pe gum-sum baiTha hai 'kaifi'

yaad kisi ki aai hui hai
