machalte tir ko aane to de nishane tak
tu intizar to kar us ke muskurane tak

ajib shakhs hai rutha hua sa lagta hai
hansa raha hai wo khud ko mujhe hansane tak

lagi hai shart hawaon se un charaghon ki
jala raha hun inhen dekhiye bujhane tak

hamari ruh mein tufan uthaegi kitne
wo dil ki baat thirakte labon ke aane tak

hawa ke dosh pe likhta hun nam main 'jauhar'
hai is ka zimma sanbhaale ise zamane tak
