meri fikron mein racha dil ke qarin lagta hai
wo to pahle se kahin aur hasin lagta hai

garche ek bhid hai har samt har ek kuche mein
mujh ko har shakhs magar gosha-nashin lagta hai

apna sarmaya yahi tutte lamhon ki thakan
dil magar hai ki jawahar ka amin lagta hai

tum ne dekha nahin hoga koi manzar aisa
har falak aaj hamein zer-e-zamin lagta hai

ek hum the ki chale aae sar-e-manzil-e-ishq
aur jo shakhs jahan tha wo wahin lagta hai

us ki tahrir nahin silk-e-guhar hai 'jawed'
us ka har qaul ki khatam ka nagin lagta hai
