ruh ke jaane ki qalib se koi muddat nahin
sabr kar ai dil tujhe kya sabr ki taqat nahin

kya meri betabi-e-dil bais-e-wahshat nahin
ye khalish pahlu ki mere monis-e-ghurbat nahin

dil nahin hai wo nahin hai ishq ka jis mein guzar
wo bhi koi aankh hai jis aankh mein hasrat nahin

koi khwahan sim-o-zar ka koi talib takht ka
mere aage faqr se behtar koi daulat nahin

aao baitho shauq se khud ko chhupa kar dil mein tum
is se behtar do-jahan mein gosha-e-uzlat nahin

khulq himmat aur murawwat hain sharaf insan ke
wo kabhi insan nahin hai jis mein ye haalat nahin

khun-e-dil pita hai aur khata hai wo lakht-e-jigar
aab-o-dana ki tere bimar ko hajat nahin

le ke dil mera dam-e-rukhsat wo ye kahne lage
khilat-e-tahsin se behtar koi bhi khilat nahin

ai 'jamila' surat-e-taswir main khamosh hun
zoaf had se badh gaya nalon ki ab qudrat nahin
