rashk karte hain shanasa bhi muqabil ki tarah
kash koi mere pahlu mein rahe dil ki tarah

shayad ek roz mujhe khud se khuda mil jae
istada hun dar-e-zat pe sail ki tarah

mushk-e-ahu se mahakne laga dil ka jangal
yaad ke dasht mein utra jo tu mahmil ki tarah

aise bezar mohabbat ke sitam kya kahna
pesh aae jo mere shauq se mushkil ki tarah

chashm-e-ibrat koi rakhta to dikhate us ko
shahr-e-jaan mein kai aasar hain babul ki tarah

jabki manzil ne tumhein dhund liya hai 'jauhar'
kyon bhatakte ho ab aawara-e-manzil ki tarah
