safar tamam hua gard-e-justuju bhi gai
teri talash mein nikli to aarzu bhi gai

ek intizar sa tha barf ke pighalne ka
phir us ke baad to ummid-e-abju bhi gai

talab ki rah mein aise bhi mod aae hain
ki harf-o-saut gaya shokhi-e-gulu bhi gai

ye barg-o-bar kahan jazib-nazar thahre
tumhaare baad to phulon se rang-o-bu bhi gai

kuchh aise khak udai hai dasht-e-hu mein 'jamal'
ki jazb-e-shauq bhi tafriq-e-ma-o-tu bhi gai
