wo dil nasib hua jis ko dagh bhi na mila
mila wo gham-kada jis mein charagh bhi na mila

gai thi kah ke main lati hun zulf-e-yar ki bu
phiri to baad-e-saba ka dimagh bhi na mila

charagh le ke irada tha yar ko dhunden
shab-e-firaq thi koi charagh bhi na mila

khabar ko yar ki bheja tha gum hue aaise
hawas-e-rafta ka ab tak suragh bhi na mila

'jalal' bagh-e-jahan mein wo andalib hain hum
chaman ko phul mile hum ko dagh bhi na mila
