barson teri talab mein safina rawan raha
ai mere mehrban bhanwar tu kahan raha

un se mili nazar to palat kar na aa saki
wo rishta-e-nigah bhi kab darmiyan raha

kab umr-e-khizr khanda-e-gul ka jawab hai
yan do ghadi mein umr-e-abad ka saman raha

main bhi tere baghair na aaram pa saka
tu bhi meri talash mein be-khanaman raha

mujh ko gila hai tab-e-murawwat-shiar se
saghar-ba-dast ho ke bhi tishna wahan raha

ai daur-e-charkh ab koi tadbir aur kar
teri sitamgari pe to main shadman raha

mujh ko 'jalil' kaun kahega shikasta-dil
khaya tha ek zakhm so wo be-nishan raha
