ye chand sitaron ki ziya kam to nahin hai
jalta hua har samt diya kam to nahin hai

main kyon karun asbab o muqaddar pe bharosa
mere liye ek nam-e-khuda kam to nahin hai

paison se to lete hain faqiron ki duaen
ye apne buzurgon ki dua kam to nahin hai

maghrib ki fusun-saz hawaon se gharaz kya
mashriq mein meri baad-e-saba kam to nahin hai

kyon hath mere khun se rangte ho tum apne
surkhi ke liye rang-e-hina kam to nahin hai

karte hain 'jamil' aap jo marne ki tamanna
is dahr mein jine ka maza kam to nahin hai
