samajh ke zulm karo ai buto khuda bhi hai
tumhaare jaur-o-jafa ki kuchh intiha bhi hai

agar main jaunga puchhunga ye masiha se
ki mere dard-e-jigar ki koi dawa bhi hai

kabhi raha mere lab tak kabhi wahan pahuncha
ye nala mera rasa aur na-rasa bhi hai

fasana qais ka logon se sun liya hoga
ye mera qissa-e-gham aap ne suna bhi hai

musafiran-e-adam aae do-ghadi ke liye
sara-e-dahr mein aa kar koi raha bhi hai

tamasha dekhiye wo baad-e-qatl bhul gaya
ki mere dar pe koi kushta-e-ada bhi hai

jafa-o-jaur se un ke to ho gaya aajiz
buton ke ishq ka is dil mein hausla bhi hai

samajh ke khar-e-mughilan to sar utha apna
ki rahrawon mein ek aashiq barhana-pa bhi hai

safina bahr-e-musibat se par kar dega
khuda samajhte ho jis ko wo nakhuda bhi hai

uthao shauq se manzil mein tum qadam apne
ki rahzan jo hai is mein wo rahnuma bhi hai

nazar se shaikh ki chhup kar chala hun pine ko
'jamila' abr hai barish hai aur hawa bhi hai
