khali aashiq se kabhi kucha-e-jaanan na raha
kaun si shab wo thi jis mein koi giryan na raha

dekhiye nakhun-e-wahshat ke sabab aashiq ka
tar-e-daman na raha tar-e-gareban na raha

shaikh kya waz sunata hai dikhane ke liye
dil mein taswir-e-sanam hai tera iman na raha

ho gaya sath dil-e-zar ke wo bhi rukhsat
maya-e-zist jo apna tha wo arman na raha

ham-safiro na kaho naghma-zani ko mujh se
ab chali baad-e-khizan aur gul-e-khandan na raha

rukh dikhate hi kiya mahw-e-tamasha tu ne
kab tera shefta aaina sa hairan na raha

ashk-e-dida to hue khushk 'jamila' kah do
khizr tum aae to kya chashma-e-haiwan na raha
