abhi latafat-e-urdu zaban baqi hai
wo bankpan wo kalam-o-bayan baqi hai

mohabbaton mein jo rahti hai fasle ki lakir
abhi wo tere mere darmiyan baqi hai

nikal ke dekh to bazar-e-zindagi mein zara
mohabbaton ki hazaron dukan baqi hai

tu dekh le to teri aankh bhi chhalak uthe
badan pe zakhm ka sara nishan baqi hai

mujhe ho khauf bhala kyon siyah raaton ka
tere khayal ka raushan jahan baqi hai

kitab-e-ishq-o-mohabbat mein aaj bhi 'jazil'
visal-o-hijr ki ek dastan baqi hai
