kahan hoga kidhar hoga dil-e-nakaam kya hoga
khuda jaane mohabbat mein tera anjam kya hoga

taba aazad paida kar dil-e-be-khauf paida kar
jise dar mohtasib ka ho wo mai-asham kya hoga

naya diwana hun mujh ko nai zanjir se bandho
purana intishaar-e-zulf mera dam kya hoga

pilana hi agar maqsud hai bhar bhar pilata ja
hamari pyas ke aage ye khali jam kya hoga

saf-e-akhir mein bhi labrez paimana mila hum ko
karam saqi ka is se aur badh kar aam kya hoga

badal jae jo subh-e-wasl se sham-e-judai to
tumhein nuqsan aakhir gardish-e-ayyam kya hoga

tumhein kyon fikr hai yaro tadapne do tadapne do
tadapne ka main aadi hun mujhe aaram kya hoga

'jalal'-e-be-nawa zauq-e-sukhan-goi na gar badla
to phir in be-maza sheron se tera nam kya hoga
