nakaami-e-sad-hasrat-e-parina ke dar jaen
kuchh roz to aaram se apne bhi guzar jaen

ai dil-zadagan ab ke bhi is fasl-e-junun mein
phir bahr-e-khirad nok-e-sinan kitne hi sar jaen

ye rishta-e-jaan tar-e-rag-e-jaan ki manind
tute jo kabhi khak mein hum khak-basar jaen

hai harf-shanasi kisi aaine ki manind
patthar koi pad jae to sab harf bikhar jaen

parwarda-e-shab ko hai kahan jurat-e-izhaar
darte hain ki shanon se kahin sar na utar jaen

is qarya-e-yakh-basta mein ai shoala-sifat aa
jazbaat na ajsam ki manind thithar jaen

ye khirqa-e-darweshi hamein ras hai 'jawed'
dastar-o-qaba pahan len hum log to mar jaen
