uljhe hue din khoi hui raat na hoti
ai kash meri tum se mulaqat na hoti

aadab-e-wafa ka jo main paband na hota
wallah ki ye surat-e-haalat na hoti

tum gham ka lab-o-lahja samajh hi nahin pae
warna kabhi is darja badhi baat na hoti

dil khol ke taron se mein kahta tha kahani
hoti badi ruswai agar raat na hoti

sab kuchh main samajh baitha teri yaad ko warna
ujdi hui firdaus-e-khayalat na hoti

dar-asl khata hai ye mere zauq-e-nazar ki
warna tumhein taklif-e-hijabaat na hoti

tujh se gham-e-dauran hi bhala ai gham-e-jaanan
is tarah to barbaadi-e-jazbaat na hoti

kam-zarf bhi aa nikle hain maikhane ki jaanib
is se to ye achchha tha ki barsat na hoti

dil gham se hai bezar magar ye jo na hota
'jauhar' kabhi takmil-e-kamalat na hoti
