aaine ki aankh mein patthar gira
jhil mein jaise koi kankar gira

todta hai jab kisi ka dil koi
lagta hai jaise khuda ka ghar gira

har taraf phaili sadaon ki mahak
lafz ki taswir se manzar gira

gunj utthe qahqahe ahbab ke
chalte chalte kha ke jab thokar gira

aaj 'jauhar' khar ke aaghosh mein
narm-o-nazuk phul ka paikar gira
