kabhi andhere se ghabrae raushni se kabhi
kabhi bujhae charagh aur kabhi jalae charagh

wo bujhte dil ko na dekhen kisi ke khub hai ye
wo munh ko pher len jis waqt jhilmilae charagh

lahad pe chal ke hawa gar bujhati hai to bujhae
tumhaara ho chuka ehsan ki khud jalae charagh

lahad pe bu-e-wafa aa rahi thi waqt-e-sahar
kahin kahin jo pade hain jale-jalae charagh

ek aah-e-garm se turbat mein kaam lene do
yunhi jalae isi tarah se bujhae charagh

jo tha to bas wahi dil-soz bhi tha ai 'jawed'
kisi ne dil na jalaya yahan siwae charagh
