kaho to aaj dil-e-be-qarar kaise ho
shab-e-alam ke satae nazar kaise ho

hawas yahi hai ki puchhe wo aa ke hum se kabhi
hamari did ke ummid-war kaise ho

tadap rahe ho lahad mein ki chain-o-rahat hai
kaho to mujh se ki ahl-e-mazar kaise ho

na is tarah karo pamal dil ko aashiq ke
samand-e-naz ko roko sawar kaise ho

hamari rah na khoti karo khuda ke liye
hamein satao na sahra ke khar kaise ho

kinara khwab ko hai chashm-e-tar se aashiq ke
khayal-e-jalwa-e-didar-e-yar kaise ho

'jamila' meri zaban se na kuchh nikal jae
wo mujh se puchhte hain bar bar kaise ho
