maze betabiyon ke aa rahe hain
wo hum ko hum unhen samjha rahe hain

abhi kal tak the kaise bhole-bhaale
zara ubhre hain aafat dha rahe hain

kaha us ne sawal-e-wasl sun kar
ki mujh se aap kuchh farma rahe hain

wo bijli hain to hon un ko mubarak
mujhe kis waste tadpa rahe hain

mujhe to intizar-e-chaaragar hai
ilahi ghash pe ghash kyun aa rahe hain

rahe daman bhara un ka hamesha
lahad par phul jo barsa rahe hain

suna kar qissa-e-parwana-o-shama
hamare dil ko wo garma rahe hain

do roza husn par phule hain kya gul
bade kam-zarf hain itra rahe hain

kabhi hum ne piya tha baada-e-ishq
'jalil' us ke maze ab aa rahe hain
