na koi khwab kamaya na aankh khali hui
tumhaare sath hamari bhi raat kali hui

khuda ka shukr ada kar wo bewafa nikla
khushi mana ki teri jaan ki bahaali hui

zara se khwab bune the ki sans phul gai
qadam dukan pe rakha tha ki jeb khali hui

wafa ke bare mein logon ki rae thik nahin
briadri se ye khatun hai nikali hui

tumhi to sar pe bithae hue the duniya ko
tumhi pe bhaunk rahi hai tumhaari pali hui

main kaise dekhun rawa-dariyon ko mitte hue
ye dagh-bel hai mere badon ki dali hui

jo ahl-e-naqd-o-nazar hain idhar bhi ghaur karen
ki ye ghazal bhi hai tarkib se nikali hui

ye qafiya badi diqqat ke sath nazm hua
bade hunar se ye aurat mrs 'jamali' hui
