hukm qudrat ne jab aalam-gari ka likkha
qismat-e-ishq mein gham be-asari ka likkha

aakhirash chaak-e-gareban nazar aaya khud bhi
haal jis ne bhi meri jama-dari ka likkha

padhte hi nama-e-pur-shauq mera us ne kaha
ye to hai aalam-e-ashufta-sari ka likkha

waraq-e-dil pe mere ishq ne afsos ke sath
hadisa teri pasheman-nazari ka likkha

jis ne tarikh-e-gulistan-e-mohabbat likkhi
pahle qissa meri be-baal-o-pari ka likkha

apni qudrat ka jab izhaar kiya sanea ne
raaz aaine pe aaina-gari ka likkha

juz mere padh na saka koi gulistan mein 'jalil'
waraq-e-gul pe nasim-e-sahari ka likkha
