zoron pe bahut ab meri aashufta-sari hai
zoroñ pe bahut ab mirī āshufta-sarī hai
ye haal hai ḳhud se bhī mujhe be-ḳhabarī hai
jab se nahīñ āġhosh meñ vo jān-e-tamannā
ik sil hai ki har vaqt kaleje pe dharī hai
un kī jo mayassar nahīñ shādāb-nigāhī
phūloñ meñ koī rañg na sabze meñ tarī hai
maanā ki mohabbat ke haiñ dushvār taqāze
be-yār ke jiinā bhī to ik dard-sarī hai
lapkā hai ye ik umr kā jā.egā na hargiz
is gul se tabī.at na bharegī na bharī hai
ik un kī haqīqat to mire dil ko hai taslīm
baaqī hai jo kaunain meñ vo sab nazarī hai
āñkhoñ meñ samātā nahīñ ab aur jo koī
kyā jaane basīrat hai ki ye be-basarī hai
jāgoge shab-e-ġham meñ 'jalīl' aur kahāñ tak
sote nahīñ kyūñ? niiñd to āñkhoñ meñ bharī hai
zoron pe bahut ab meri aashufta-sari hai
ye haal hai KHud se bhi mujhe be-KHabari hai
jab se nahin aaghosh mein wo jaan-e-tamanna
ek sil hai ki har waqt kaleje pe dhari hai
un ki jo mayassar nahin shadab-nigahi
phulon mein koi rang na sabze mein tari hai
mana ki mohabbat ke hain dushwar taqaze
be-yar ke jina bhi to ek dard-sari hai
lapka hai ye ek umr ka jaega na hargiz
is gul se tabiat na bharegi na bhari hai
ek un ki haqiqat to mere dil ko hai taslim
baqi hai jo kaunain mein wo sab nazari hai
aankhon mein samata nahin ab aur jo koi
kya jaane basirat hai ki ye be-basari hai
jagoge shab-e-gham mein 'jalil' aur kahan tak
sote nahin kyun? nind to aankhon mein bhari hai
