main sunta rahta hun naghme kamal ke andar
kai sadaen parindon mein dal ke andar

jo wahime mera andar ujad sakte hain
main rakh raha hun unhen bhi sambhaal ke andar

tamam masale nauiyat-e-sawal ke hain
jawab hote hain sare sawal ke andar

jagah jagah pe koi to hazar-ha nashtar
utarta hai rag-e-ehtimal ke andar

tarah tarah ke gulab aatishin salakh ke sath
nikal lata hun surakh dal ke andar

ye silsila zara mauquf ho to dekhunga
khayal aur hain kitne khayal ke andar

tadapte rahte hain dil ke nawah mein 'jawed'
bahut se azhdahe jibhen nikal ke andar
