har gham pe aaj-kal hai khushi ka guman mujhe
le aai yaad-e-yar kahan se kahan mujhe

manzur zauq-e-did ka ho imtihan mujhe
ye tab ye majal ye taqat kahan mujhe

yarab qafas ki khair ki dekha jo khwab bhi
aaya hai bijliyon mein nazar aashiyan mujhe

aazadi-e-khayal ke wo rang ab kahan
tha ibtida mein kunj-e-qafas aashiyan mujhe

zauq-e-talab ka raaz yahi zindagi yahi
har karwan hai gard-e-pas-e-karwan mujhe

main jaan-e-rang-o-bu hun main aaraish-e-chaman
tu kya samajh raha hai mere baghban mujhe

tewar nigah-e-naz ke kuchh din yahi jo hain
yara-e-zabt-e-raaz 'jamali' kahan mujhe
