kabhi majbur ho jaana kabhi lachaar ho jaana
hamein lazim hai goya talib-e-didar ho jaana

na jaane bil-mushafa guftugu par hashr kya hoga
qayamat ho gaya jab us se aankhen chaar ho jaana

sukun jata raha dil ki tamanna mein tadap uthin
bala-e-na-gahani tha kisi se pyar ho jaana

zara rashk-e-masiha ho ke mere samne aao
ilaj-e-dard-e-dil hai aap ka didar ho jaana

bahaaron ka karun kyon intizar ab kya zarurat hai
jigar ke dagh ka mushkil nahin gulzar ho jaana

hamein le aaya jazb-e-shauq us meraj-e-ulfat par
mayassar aa gaya hai naqsh-bar-diwar ho jaana

zahe-qismat huzur-e-husn izn-e-baryabi ho
bahut achchha hai 'jauhar' aaina-bardar ho jaana
