MORE BYLala Madhav Ram Jauhar
raat din chain ham ai rashk-e-qamar rakhte haiñ
shaam avadh kī to banaras kī sahar rakhte haiñ
bhāñp hī leñge ishāra sar-e-mahfil jo kiyā
tāḌne vaale qayāmat kī nazar rakhte haiñ
DhūñDh letā maiñ agar aur kisī jā hote
kyā kahūñ aap dil-e-ġhair meñ ghar rakhte haiñ
ashk qaabū meñ nahīñ raaz chhupā.ūñ kyūñkar
dushmanī mujh se mire dīda-e-tar rakhte haiñ
kaise be-rahm haiñ sayyād ilāhī tauba
mausam-e-gul meñ mujhe kaaT ke par rakhte haiñ
kaun haiñ ham se sivā naaz uThāne vaale
sāmne aa.eñ jo dil aur jigar rakhte haiñ
dil to kyā chiiz hai patthar ho to paanī ho jaa.e
mere naale abhī itnā to asar rakhte haiñ
chaar din ke liye duniyā meñ laḌā.ī kaisī
vo bhī kyā log haiñ aapas meñ sharar rakhte haiñ
hāl-e-dil yaar ko mahfil meñ sunā.ūñ kyuuñ kar
mudda.ī kaan udhar aur idhar rakhte haiñ
jalva-e-yār kisī ko nazar aatā kab hai
dekhte haiñ vahī us ko jo nazar rakhte haiñ
āshiqoñ par hai dikhāne ko itaab ai 'jauhar'
dil meñ mahbūb ināyat kī nazar rakhte haiñ
raat din chain hum ai rashk-e-qamar rakhte hain
sham awadh ki to banaras ki sahar rakhte hain
bhanp hi lenge ishaara sar-e-mahfil jo kiya
taDne wale qayamat ki nazar rakhte hain
DhunDh leta main agar aur kisi ja hote
kya kahun aap dil-e-ghair mein ghar rakhte hain
ashk qabu mein nahin raaz chhupaun kyunkar
dushmani mujh se mere dida-e-tar rakhte hain
kaise be-rahm hain sayyaad ilahi tauba
mausam-e-gul mein mujhe kaT ke par rakhte hain
kaun hain hum se siwa naz uThane wale
samne aaen jo dil aur jigar rakhte hain
dil to kya chiz hai patthar ho to pani ho jae
mere nale abhi itna to asar rakhte hain
chaar din ke liye duniya mein laDai kaisi
wo bhi kya log hain aapas mein sharar rakhte hain
haal-e-dil yar ko mahfil mein sunaun kyun kar
muddai kan udhar aur idhar rakhte hain
jalwa-e-yar kisi ko nazar aata kab hai
dekhte hain wahi us ko jo nazar rakhte hain
aashiqon par hai dikhane ko itab ai 'jauhar'
dil mein mahbub inayat ki nazar rakhte hain
