soz-e-darun se jal-buhjo lekin dhuan na ho
hai dard-e-dil ki shart ki lab par fughan na ho

phir ho raha hai shor-e-sala-e-nabard-e-ishq
han ai dahan-e-zakhm jawab al-aman na ho

bazar-e-jaan-farosh mein sauda na ho ye kya
gahak mile to jins to ye bhi garan na ho

is dard-e-la-jawab ki kyunkar karun dawa
wo haal-e-dil-nashin bhi to mujh se bayan na ho

kya faeda gar us ne chhupaya bhi dard-e-dil
ye kaam jab bane ki mizha khun-chakan na ho

kya kije chun ke maida-e-dil ko lakht lakht
tera hi tir sine mein jab mehman na ho

khauf-e-raqib ka to ye aalam aur us pe ishq
sab chahte hain chah ka un par guman na ho

hai wasl-e-yar ki bhi tamanna ka hausla
dar ye bhi hai ki taba-e-adu par giran na ho

pahlu se dil ko le ke wo kahte hain naz se
kya aaen ghar mein aap hi jab mezban na ho

sunte hi jis ke khalq se kohram mach gaya
'jauhar' wo teri hi to kahin dastan na ho
