wahi ijz-e-bandagi hai wahi naz-e-astana
main yaqin kaise kar lun ki badal gaya zamana

ye hamara haq hai logo ye hamari zid nahin hai
jo ye gulsitan rahega to rahega aashiyana

ye bahaar ka hai mausam magar is ko kya kahen hum
abhi andalib-e-gulshan ki nawa hai baghiyana

meri azmat-e-wafa se bhi wo mutmain nahin hain
wahi jis ke jaur-e-paiham ka hai mo'tarif zamana

mujhe tajrabaat-e-gham ne ye ada sikhai 'jauhar'
na kisi se dushmani hai na kisi se dostana
