achchhi guzar rahi hai dil-e-khud-kafil se
langar se roti lete hain pani sabil se

duniya ka koi dagh mere dil ko kya lage
manga na ek diram bhi kabhi is bakhil se

kya boriya-nashin ko hawas taj o takht ki
kya khak-ashna ko gharaz asp o fil se

dil ki taraf se hum kabhi ghafil nahin rahe
karte hain pasbani-e-shahr us fasil se

gahwara-e-safar mein khuli hai hamari aankh
tamir apne ghar ki hui sang-e-mil se

ek shakhs baadshah to ek shakhs hai wazir
goya nahin hain donon hamari qabil se

duniya mere pados mein aabaad hai magar
meri dua-salam nahin us zalil se

'jawed' ek gham ke siwa dil mein hai bhi kya
hum ghar chala rahe hain mata-e-qalil se
