bas isi had tak jahan-e-rang-o-bu achchha laga
ek jawan-e-sarw-qad ek khub-ru achchha laga

zahidon ki ruh mein jab jhank kar dekha to phir
khirqa-o-sajjada se apna subu achchha laga

guftugu mein sard-mehri aankh mein lutf-o-karam
us ka ye andaz mere ru-ba-ru achchha laga

jab nazar dali kitab-e-zindagi par ghaur se
is mein bas ek lamha-e-tegh-o-gulu achchha laga

apni fitrat mein hai darweshi so hum ko mai-kasho
saghar-e-jamshed se apna kadu achchha laga

kya kare apni tabiat ki koi uftad ko
dosto wo dushman-e-jaan wo adu achchha laga

jaan-nisaron ki kami koi na thi 'jabir' yahan
tegh-e-qatil ko magar mera lahu achchha laga
