dil jo aaina sa nahin hota
yar jalwa-numa nahin hota

sabr kar sabr ai dil-e-mahzun
is mohabbat mein kya nahin hota

go nasim-e-sahar hai aah meri
ghuncha-e-dil to wa nahin hota

murgh-e-bismil sa kyun na main tadpun
dard rahat-faza nahin hota

kyun karun ja ke main use sajda
but-e-kafir khuda nahin hota

hota nam-o-nishan ka gar talib
main tera naqsh-e-pa nahin hota

kyun dil aata tumhaare dar pe sanam
garche shauq-e-liqa nahin hota

ishq hota nahin to pesh-e-nazar
jalwa-e-haq-numa nahin hota

sar katane se ho gai rahat
ishq ka ye maza nahin hota

mujh se dar-parda hai tujhe ulfat
mujh ko ye hausla nahin hota

dil ko kyun kar 'jamila' main phenkun
kisi surat juda nahin hota
