main tirgi se guzarta hun raushni ki tarah
mujhe shuur hai jine ka aadmi ki tarah

yahi ada thi yahi naz tha yahi shokhi
ek aur shakhs bhi dekha tha aap hi ki tarah

main un se mahw-e-takallum wo mujh se garm-e-sukhan
main zindagi se mukhatib hun zindagi ki tarah

khata muaf ye milna bhi koi milna hai
tum apne ho ke bhi milte ho ajnabi ki tarah

tera jamal hai aaina-dar-e-zat-o-sifat
tera khayal hai suraj ki raushni ki tarah

kisi ki yaad ki khushbu hai misl-e-bu-e-chaman
kisi ki zulf ka saya hai chandni ki tarah

meri hayat meri kaenat ke malik
main chahta hun tujhe apni zindagi ki tarah

badan mahak uthe khushbu-e-yar se 'jauhar'
agar hayat ho phulon ki tazgi ki tarah
