Hijr kii raat Dhale na Dhale,
le Gham-e-jaanaaN ham to chale,
diivaane kii maut na puuch,
ahl-e-Khirad ne haath male
(ahl-e-Khirad : men of intelligence)
apnii lagan hai apnaa lag,
kaun bure aur kaun bhale,
duniyaa meN daanaa hai vohii
jo duniyaa ke saath chale
(daanaa : wise)
chashm-e-tamaashaa ye bhii dekh,
phuul haNse aur shaaKh jale,
(chashm : eyes)
bicchRe hu’e dukh “Saif” hameN,
ro ro ke milte haiN gale.
