un ki bazm-e-naz ka samjhe nahin dastur hum
is liye zabt-e-mohabbat par rahe majbur hum

haif us diwangi par jis se ruswa husn ho
hae wo mahbub jis se ho gae mashhur hum

aankh ko zauq-e-tajalli dil ko irfan-e-kamal
aap ki kis kis inayat ke hue mashkur hum

kuchh badal ai husn ye tarz-e-taghaful kuchh badal
warna phir jari karenge maslak-e-mansur hum

un ke jalwe se ho tabinda nigah-e-shauq agar
zarre zarre ko bana dalenge rashk-e-tur hum

mutmain dil yaad se aankhen tasawwur se nihaal
ab nahin honge halak-e-qismat-e-mahjur hum

'jauhar' is mahaul mein urdu ki khidmat farz hai
yun nahin irfan-e-fan mein zarra bhar mazur hum
