mere junun-e-shauq ka aalam hi aur tha

mere junun-e-shauq ka aalam hi aur tha
wo ibtida-e-ishq ka mausam hi aur tha
jis ne mere shuur ko bakhsha tha eatibar
wo gham gham-e-hayat na tha gham hi aur tha


wo lan-taraniyan na wo laf-o-gazaf tha
wo aa gaya to bazm ka aalam hi aur tha
tahzib-e-nau ne mom ko patthar bana diya
ek din wo tha fasana-e-adam hi aur tha


lazzat-shanas zer-e-gham-e-ishq tha ye dil
lekin jo ab ke bar mila sam hi aur tha
sharh-o-bayan se aur ulajhta chala gaya
ai ham-nashin wo qissa-e-mubham hi aur tha


pahle bhi arz-e-haal ye roya hai wo magar
kal raat us ka girya-e-paiham hi aur tha
khanjar ki dhaar jis ne rag-e-jaan se kat di
wo eatibar-e-azmat-e-adam hi aur tha


'jabir' harif-e-gardish-e-dauran tha un dinon
wo tha sharik-e-haal to dam-kham hi aur tha
