naghmagi shahr ki jangal ka fusun bhi ghaeb
jitni raftar badhi utna sukun bhi ghaeb

asp-e-idrak mera mujh ko kahan le aaya
khush-khayali bhi dhuan jazb-e-junun bhi ghaeb

aur ab le gaya aa kar wo shuur-o-ehsas
daulat-e-khwab to thi pahle se yun bhi ghaeb

barf ab ke ye jami kaisi ragon mein apni
jism ki aag bhi gum soz-e-darun bhi ghaeb

kisht-e-jaan sokhta viran hai dayar-e-dil bhi
yani mujh se wo mera haal-e-zabun bhi ghaeb

zindagi lai kahan hum ko batao 'jawed'
aankh hairat se tahi dil se hai khun bhi ghaeb
