chaak daman bhi hua chaak-e-gareban ki tarah
aankh barse hai shab-e-gham abr-e-baran ki tarah

wae qismat chha gai khamoshi dil mein kis qadar
bujh gaya hun main charagh-e-gor-e-viran ki tarah

us gul-e-raana ki ulfat chhup nahin sakti kabhi
ubhra hai dagh-e-wafa mehr-e-darakhshan ki tarah

hai karamat ishq ki pahuncha main baam-e-arsh tak
goya ek darwesh hun main ahl-e-irfan ki tarah

in ke wade ne mujhe bakhsha hai zauq-e-zindagi
khil gaya dil ghuncha-e-jashn-e-bahaaran ki tarah

puchh mat mujh se hai kaisi lazzat-e-soz-e-darun
jaan-gudazi hai meri sham-e-farozan ki tarah

ghar nahin daulat nahin hurmat nahin satwat nahin
hum bhi kya aawara hain gardun-e-gardan ki tarah

mahfil-e-yaran nahin bazm-e-bahaaran bhi nahin
hum jiye hain sakin-e-shahr-e-khamoshan ki tarah

bekasi chashm-e-falak ne dam-ba-dam dekhi meri
duniya mein aajiz kahan mujh khana-viran ki tarah

afsar-e-khuban 'jalali' thahra hai jab se koi
gulshan-e-dil zeba hai firdaus-e-rizwan ki tarah
