jab bhi sham-e-tarab jalai hai
aanch mahrumiyon ki aai hai

raste itne be-karan to na the
justuju kitni dur lai hai

zahmat-e-justuju se kya hoga
bu-e-gul kis ke hath aai hai

kitni ranginiyon mein teri yaad
kis qadar sadgi se aai hai

kah ke jaan-e-ghazal tujhe hum ne
apni kam-maigi chhupai hai

jab bhi 'jawed' chhed di hai ghazal
baat waraftagi tak aai hai
