lakh ehsas tera kushta-e-haalat rahe
tere honton pe shagufta si koi baat rahe

tu ne har daur mein ulti hai bisat-e-alam
aaj ye aakhiri bazi bhi tere baat rahe

ye bhi milna hai ki bas mil ke bichhad jate hain
lutf to jab hai ki ek umr mulaqat rahe

kaenat un ke liye ek sarab ek khayal
jo nigahban-e-haram mahw-e-gham-e-zat rahe

yun sar-e-bazm koi naghma-e-jawed suna
ki tere baad bhi mahfil mein teri baat rahe

kya ajab ek hi manzil ho hamari ai dost
rah kat jaegi donon ka agar sat rahe

apna shewa ki jalate hain andheron mein charagh
un ki sazish ki zamane mein yunhi raat rahe

jo lagate rahe har haal pe jaan ki bazi
kyun 'jamil' un ke muqaddar mein faqat baat rahe
