hain mo'taqid-e-saqi yaran-e-haram kitne
kabe se khumistan tak hain naqsh-e-qadam kitne

waiz ka gila kya jab socha na barahman ne
ek dil ke banane mein kaam aae sanam kitne

us jaan-e-taghaful ki taklif-e-tabassum se
aansu hue jate hain shaista-e-gham kitne

namus-e-talluq ki saugand zara socho
bargashta ho tum kitne warafta hain hum kitne

pine ki nahin lekin laghzish ki parakh hogi
ab dekhiye mahfil mein khulte hain bharam kitne

ye baat bata kar hum kyon gham ko karen ruswa
hain ahl-e-karam kitne hain ahl-e-sitam kitne

arbab-e-alam aansu pite hi gae phir bhi
dekho to zara 'jauhar' daman hue nam kitne
