aaj qabu mein ye mizaj nahin
be-khudi ka koi ilaj nahin

waqt-e-akhir hai mera jao tabib
ab dawa ki to ehtiyaj nahin

ahd mein mere shah-e-khuban ke
sitam-o-zulm ka riwaj nahin

mujh ko dikhla do ru-e-ghaus-e-khuda
aur koi mera ilaj nahin

kam nahin faqr baadshahi se
kuchh tamanna-e-takht-o-taj nahin

shah-e-khuban ke waste hargiz
ghair-az-dil koi khiraj nahin

haf-iqlim nazr-e-shah karte
ai 'jamila' hamara raj nahin
