sabr kar sabr dil-e-zar ye wahshat kya hai
dasht-e-pur-khar mein jaane ki zarurat kya hai

ek tahayyur mein pada hun nahin milta hai pata
chashm-e-be-khwab mein ye surat-e-hasrat kya hai

dil mein baithe hain to phir munh ka chhupana kaisa
ai but-e-hosh-ruba aap ki aadat kya hai

loriyan degi qaza chain se so jaenge
tere bimar ko marne ki zarurat kya hai

nek-o-bad jab teri marzi pe hue hain mauquf
bakht kahte hain kise aur ye qismat kya hai

dam-e-akhir hai mera tum sar-e-baalin aao
ek saat ke thaharne mein qabahat kya hai

roz-e-ishrat mein samajhti hun 'jamila' is ko
log kis waste darte hain qayamat kya hai
