bulbul sune na kyunki qafas mein chaman ki baat
aawara-e-watan ko lage khush watan ki baat

mat puchh haal apne tu bimar-e-ishq ka
hone lagi ab us ke to gor-o-kafan ki baat

hai mausam-e-bahaar mein ba-sad-zaban khamosh
ghunche ne kya suni thi kisi ke dahan ki baat

aish-o-tarab ka zikr karun kya main dosto
mujh gham-zada se puchhiye ranj-o-mehan ki baat

naseh main kya kahun ki hua kis tarah se chaak
dast-e-junun se puchho mere pairahan ki baat

tha aaqil-e-zamana pa diwana ho gaya
jis shakhs ne suni mere diwana-pan ki baat

sar dije rah-e-ishq mein par munh na modiye
patthar ki si lakir hai ye kohkan ki baat

bazm-e-chaman bhi us se khajil hai bahaar mein
kya puchhne hai yar teri anjuman ki baat

yaro main kya kahun ki jala kis tarah patang
puchho zaban-e-shama se us ki lagan ki baat

shayad usi ka zikr ho har rahguzar mein main
sunta hun gosh-e-dil se har ek mard-o-zan ki baat

wo shai nahin hai hum mein ki jis se mile wo yar
aati hai yun to hum ko bhi har ek fan ki baat

'jurat' khizan ke aate chaman mein raha na kuchh
ek rah gai zaban pe gul-o-yasman ki baat
