haalat to dekh li meri chashm-e-pur-ab ki
saqi nahin hawas mujhe jam-e-sharab ki

dil ko sharar-e-shola-e-gham ne jala diya
pahlu se aa rahi hai jo khushbu kabab ki

kis ki shamim ne use aisa basa diya
aati hai apni khak se khushbu gulab ki

afsana-e-guzishta ye kahta hai mujh se dil
kya zikr un ka bhuliye baaten hain khwab ki

is bargah-e-ahmad-e-mursal ke samne
waqat nahin hai kuchh bhi falak se habab ki

az-farsh ta-ba-arsh munawwar usi se hai
aisi chamak hai rauza-e-ali-janab ki

kyunkar na hun main naghma-sara un ki nat mein
bulbul hun bostan-e-risalat-maab ki

is dahr-e-be-baqa se lagaun main dil ko kya
hasti hai ek wusat-e-mauj-e-sarab ki

izzat na tere arsh pe kyun kar malak karen
tu hai 'jamila' khak-e-qadam bu-turab ki
