ek jugnu hai meri mutthi mein
shor barpa hai sari basti mein

jal gae phir se kuchh hasin rishte
tanziya guftugu ki bhatti mein

dil ki tarikiyan huin raushan
koi zinda hai meri hasti mein

jo gunahon mein gharq rahte the
aaj gum hain khuda-parasti mein

dhime dhime pata chala 'jawed'
an-ginat khubiyan hain dilli mein
