kya badal doge tum ek nazar se
be-qarari to hai umr bhar se

dosto shahr-e-jaan jal raha hai
ab kahan jaoge aur kidhar se

zakhm hain dil pe kya kya na dekho
phul chun lo lab-e-naghmagar se

jag kar raat hum ne guzari
puchh lo karwan-e-sahar se

zulmat-e-shab hai 'jawed' aur hum
chand nikle na jaane kidhar se
