har dil jo hai betab to har ek aankh bhari hai
insan pe sach-much koi uftad padi hai

rah-rau bhi wahi aur wahi rahbari bhi
manzil ka pata hai na kahin rah mili hai

muddat se rahi farsh teri rahguzar mein
tab ja ke sitaron se kahin aankh ladi hai

aisa bhi kahin dekha hai mai-khane ka dastur
har chashm hai labrez har ek jam tahi hai

rukhsar-e-bahaaran pe chamakti hui surkhi
kahti hai ki gulshan mein abhi subh hui hai

samjha hai tu zarre ko faqat zarra-e-nachiz
chhoti si ye duniya hai jo suraj se badi hai

duniya mein koi ahl-e-nazar hi nahin baqi
kotah-nigahi hai teri kam-nazari hai

madhosh faza mast hawa hosh ki mat puchh
waraftagi-e-shauq hai ek gum-shudagi hai

kanton pe chale hain to kahin phul khile hain
phulon se mile hain to badi chot lagi hai

phir soch lo ek bar abhi waqt hai 'jawed'
shikwe mein kuchh andesha-e-khatir-shikani hai
