jamal-e-husn-e-darakhshan harim-e-jaan mein nahin
wo sajde dhundh raha hun jo aastan mein nahin

koi nizam-e-asar-afrin fughan mein nahin
charagh-e-rah ka saya bhi karwan mein nahin

agar wo sina-e-pur-dagh-e-ashiqan mein nahin
to phir kahan hain wo tare jo aasman mein nahin

tapak rahi hai har ek tinke se shua-e-jamal
asir koi tajalli to aashiyan mein nahin

fana ho ya ho baqa hain ye sab fareb-e-nazar
wo kya bahaar mein hai jo meri khizan mein nahin

shahid-e-tir-e-mohabbat nahin hai dil shayad
wo surkhiyan mere mizhgan-e-khun-fishan mein nahin

jo waqt mujh pe mohabbat mein aa pada hai na puchh
sharik-e-dil bhi mera mere imtihan mein nahin

falak pe chhain hain kafir ghataen sawan ki
magar baghair tere lutf gulsitan mein nahin

hun aaj fikr ka ek bahr-e-be-karan ai 'mauj'
wo 'mauj' hi nahin betab jo jahan mein nahin
