parastish kar raha hai har jawan-o-pir patthar ki
sanam-khane mein aa kar jag uthi taqdir patthar ki

tasawwur ne but-e-kafir ki dil mein shakl khinchi hai
tamasha dekhiye shishe mein hai taswir patthar ki

tasawwur dil mein ashk aankhon mein lab par mohr-e-khamoshi
bana baitha hun un ki yaad mein taswir patthar ki

adab se zahid-e-kaba-nashin bhi chum leta hai
tumhaare dar se lag kar badh gai tauqir patthar ki

gire aankhon se itne lakht-e-dil yaqut ban ban kar
nazar aata tha tar-e-ashk ek zanjir patthar ki

na bal aa jae 'jauhar' dast-e-nazuk mein khuda-hafiz
idhar hai sakhti-e-jaan aur udhar shamshir patthar ki
