ishq ko dil mein chhupa lete hain kaamil kyunkar
un par aasan hua karti hai mushkil kyunkar

hadaf-e-nawik-e-mizgan-o-kaman abru tha
na tadapta shab-e-furqat dil-e-bismil kyunkar

apne bimar-e-mohabbat ko bhi lete jao
tum chale jate ho pahlu mein rahe dil kyunkar

sar kata kar tere kuche mein yahi dekhunga
surakh-ru hota hai khanjar tera qatil kyunkar

mirat-e-dil ki safai wo kahan paega
aaina hoga rukh-e-yar ke qabil kyunkar

ye tamasha bhi mere dil ko jila kar dekho
shama hasrat se jali bar-sar-e-mahfil kyunkar

bahr-e-ulfat mein bhi wahshat thi dil-e-gham-ghin ko
rakhta aaghosh mein phir daman-e-sahil kyunkar

dekhna lutf dam-e-qatl zara ai qatil
khak-o-khun mein hua ghaltan tera bismil kyunkar

zer-e-khanjar mere khun ne use ud kar thama
us ke panje se chhute daman-e-qatil kyun kar

dekhna gar ho to aao main dikha dun tum ko
ban gaya shekh-e-haram but-kada-e-dil kyunkar

raaz-e-sar-basta 'jamila' main kahun kya tujh se
ho gaya mera ye dil aarif-e-kaamil kyunkar
