mana ki sitare sar-e-aflak bahut hain
hum ko bhi hamare khas-o-khashak bahut hain

khilte hain kidhar gul dil-e-sad-chaak bahut hain
daman hain kahan dida-e-namnak bahut hain

itna na hanso sahab-e-idrak bahut hain
aahista chalo log tah-e-khak bahut hain

mitne ko to mit jate hain arbab-e-mohabbat
iksir hain is rah mein kam khak bahut hain

jis rang mein chaha tujhe us rang mein dekha
lamhe teri furqat ke tarab-nak bahut hain

un ko bhi 'jamil' apne muqaddar se gila hai
wo log jo sunte the ki chaalak bahut hain
