jangal jangal sahra sahra sirf gham-e-uftad hue
ahl-e-junun par ishq ki rahmat virane aabaad hue

kal tak jo masum-sifat the aaj wahi jallad hue
rafta rafta shaikh-o-barahman kitne sitam-ijad hue

mausam-e-gul ke aate aate gulchinon ki sazish se
kitne gireban chaak hue hain kitne ghar barbaad hue

dam-e-hawas har ek nafas hai barq-e-hasad har ek nazar
nazm-e-gulistan kyun-kar badle said bhi ab sayyaad hue

sadiyon ke is ujde chaman ki khun se gul-kari hogi
sunte hain arbab-e-mohabbat zindan se aazad hue

puchhe koi arbab-e-jafa se ab ye pashemani kab tak
muddat guzri ahl-e-wafa par taza sitam ijad hue

be-adabi mein jo yakta hain thahre imam-e-bazm-e-adab
jin ko sher na kahna aaya fan ke wahi ustad hue

dagh-e-judai ke sadmon se kya guzri hai kis se kahun
kaise kaise phul chaman ke nazr-e-gham-e-bedad hue

teri khushi se hum ko gharaz hai teri raza se kaam hamein
shad hue hum teri khatir tere liye nashad hue

qamat-e-mauzun ke afsane sehn-e-chaman tak ja pahunche
khush-andam-e-fasl-e-bahaaran sard hue shamshad hue

ahd-e-taghaful ka afsana un se 'jamal' ab kya kahiye
lutf-o-karam sab bhul gae hum jaur-o-sitam sab yaad hue
