ujad kar bhi nishan-e-gulsitan khud ko samajhta hun
lahu deta hun is ko baghban khud ko samajhta hun

kamal-e-sher rakhta hun jawan khud ko samajhta hun
hamesha se junun ka raaz-dan khud ko samajhta hun

sada main dil ki sunta hun to karta bhi hun man-mani
wo nadan hun ki phir wajh-e-ziyan khud ko samajhta hun

nikala mujh ko jannat se khuda ki mehrbani ne
lihaza aaj tak khuld-ashiyan khud ko samajhta hun

main zinda hun hazaron zakhm kha kar bhi mohabbat mein
na jaane kyun main apna mehrban khud ko samajhta hun

hun waris qais ka aur asr ki laila ka hun aashiq
zamane mein wafa ki dastan khud ko samajhta hun

bana kar shakh-e-nazuk par nasheman chaar tinkon ka
chaman mein sirf ahl-e-ashiyan khud ko samajhta hun

main apni maut se darta nahin hun is liye 'jami'
sada aazad zer-e-asman khud ko samajhta hun

mere ashaar khud hi hain mera nam-o-nishan 'jami'
magar main to tera nam-o-nishan khud ko samajhta hun
