kaisi dil pe ye ho gain ghaten subh se pahle sham ke baad
kaun kare ab raaz ki baaten subh se pahle sham ke baad

zehn-e-pareshan ke aangan mein kya kya phul khilate hain
khwab ke manzar hijr ki raaten subh se pahle sham ke baad

aaj bhi yaad ke dasht ka daman kyon gila kar jati hain
aankh se ashkon ki barsaten subh se pahle sham ke baad

dil ki gali mein aaj bhi koi shor-e-rabab-o-chang nahin
guzrengi khamosh baraaten subh se pahle sham ke baad

zikr-e-lab-o-rukhsar mein aksar din to guzar jate hain 'jamil'
kab katti hain ye hijr ki raaten subh se pahle sham ke baad
