zulm had se guzarta raha
ashk fariyaad karta raha

dar nahin dushmanon ka mujhe
apne sae se darta raha

us ka kirdar tha aaina
umr-bhar main sanwarta raha

puchh kar khairiyat wo meri
aur bimar karta raha

zindagi teri tamir mein
tut kar main bikharta raha

ek pal ki khushi ke liye
aadmi roz marta raha

rang-e-mahfil to badla nahin
lakh koshish main karta raha

kaun 'jawed' dil mein tere
rafta rafta utarta raha
