phir ruk nahin saka hun kisi bhi chatan se
aisa gira hun roz-e-azal aasman se

hai jabr mein bhi ek guman ikhtiyar ka
do chaar har qadam pe hon ek imtihan se

ab main hun aur hawaon ki sazish ka samna
ek tir hun chala hun qaza ki kaman se

ek aaina ki jis mein kahin baal pad gaya
ek silsila ki tut gaya darmiyan se

gum-sum khade hain ab dar-o-diwar aur main
wo log kab ke ja bhi chuke hain makan se

khushiyan jo mujh ko mil na sakin is jahan mein
mujh ko bula rahi hain nae ek jahan se

is baat ka 'jamil' mujhe kuchh pata nahin
iqrar kar raha hun main jis ka zaban se
