kab zulf-e-dota un ki pareshan nahin hai
kab wahshat-e-dil ka meri saman nahin hai

yaadon ko lagae hue sine se guzar ja
ye rah-e-mohabbat hai kuchh aasan nahin hai

duniya mein mujhe daulat-e-jawed hai hasil
kya dil mein mere aap ka arman nahin hai

ai baada-kasho zarf ki kuchh baat karo aaj
saqi ka yahan aam ab ehsan nahin hai

kya puchhte ho tamkanat-e-husn ka aalam
ab jaise karam ka koi imkan nahin hai

kuchh roz se har neshtar-e-gham hai gawara
kya ye nigah-e-mast ka ehsan nahin hai

arman umang hausla ummid bhi is mein
kashana-e-dil dosto viran nahin hai

yun milte hain mujh se wo sar-e-bazm 'jamali'
jaise meri un se koi pahchan nahin hai
