sirf baaton se bahal jaane ka qail to nahin
dil mera sada hai ehsas se ghafil to nahin

war karta hai nazar se yahi qatil to nahin
chot kha kar jo tadapta hai mera dil to nahin

shor-o-ghul badhta hi jata hai mere kanon mein
dil mein jo hai wahi tufan lab-e-sahil to nahin

qafile walon ne bistar jahan apne khole
sach to ye hai wo mere nam ki manzil to nahin

samna ho to pata bhi chale phir kaun hai kya
main ne mana ki koi mere muqabil to nahin

mahfilen aur bhi hain husn-o-ada ki lekin
teri mahfil ki tarah ab koi mahfil to nahin

hum to tayyar hain ek hashr uthane ke liye
aap khud hi kisi tufan se ghafil to nahin

dur hi se nazar aa jata hai 'jami' tera
bhid mein rah ke bhi wo bhid mein shamil to nahin
