tegh-e-abru ka jo qatil hua
wo shahidon mein be-adil hua

chashma-e-ashk chashm-e-pur-nam tha
khuld mein jo ki salsabil hua

aabru di hai inkisari ne
khaksari se main jalil hua

khud-faristanda tha farastada
wahi la kar wo jibrail hua

hun wo aasi ki shola-e-dozakh
nar hi gulshan-e-khalil hua

juz gham-e-yar dasht-e-ghurbat mein
kaun aisa tha jo kafil hua

ab khuda hi se lau lagaunga
de ke dil but ko main zalil hua

shab-e-furqat jo khat likha main ne
zulf-e-jaanan sa wo tawil hua

ai 'jamila' ye dil hai dushman-e-jaan
marg-e-ashiq ka jo dalil hua
