afsos ahl-e-ishq na ahl-e-nazar mile
jo ham-safar mile wo bala-e-safar mile

diwangan-e-ishq mile jis qadar hamein
jama darida khak-basar chashm-e-tar mile

kis se gila main katib-e-taqdir ka karun
nale mile to wo bhi mujhe be-asar mile

aaya nahin jo koi teri bazm-e-naz mein
naqsh-e-qadam ye kis ke sar-e-rah-guzar mile

us se na puchh haal-e-bahaar-e-chaman jise
nai rang-o-bu-e-gul mile nai baal-o-par mile

niyyat-ba-khair manzil-e-maqsad qarib thi
na-ashna-e-rah-e-wafa rahbar mile

'jauhar' ye rang badla sar-e-manzil-e-hayat
wo rahzan the rah mein jo rahbar mile
