yaad kar wo husn-e-sabz aur ankhdiyan matwaliyan
katte hain ro hi ro sawan ki raaten kaliyan

shab tasawwur bandh kar us jumbish-e-mizhgan ka wah
khud-bakhud kis kis maze se hum ne chhadiyan kha liyan

dekhen kya un ki lachak us saad-e-nazuk baghair
khinchti hain kyun hamein kanton mein gul ki daliyan

kuchh na kuchh kar baithta hun baat us ke bar-khilaf
ta kisi surat wo de jhunjhla ke mujh ko galiyan

mah asir-e-haala us ka dekh baala kyun na ho
khanda-zan hon mahr par jis ki jadaw-baaliyan

shab ko jo us ka tasawwur bandh gaya to hum ne bas
us ke mukhde ki balaen subh tak kya kya liyan

waqt-e-izhaar-e-wafa mahfil mein us ki jis se aankh
mil gai to bas wo sab baaten usi par dhaaliyan

barg-e-gul un ko kahun ya para-e-yaqut wah
dekhiyo bin pan khae un labon ki laliyan

kucha-e-qatil ko gar musalakh kahun to hai baja
jab na tab dekho to bahti hain lahu ki naliyan

khun-e-dil aankhon mein bhar aata hai jab aati hai yaad
wo mai-e-gul-rang ki bhar bhar ke deni pyaliyan

tak-jhank us ki kahun kya main ki tifli mein bhi thin
us ke hathon ghar ki diwaron mein har su jaliyan

kash 'jurat' wasl ka din howe jaldi se nasib
hijr ki to khae jati hain ye raaten kaliyan
