be-bak na dekha koi qatil ke barabar

be-bāk na dekhā koī qātil ke barābar

sharm aañkh meñ paa.ī na ga.ī til ke barābar

dushman koī ai yaar mirā aur tirā dost

hogā na zamāne meñ mire dil ke barābar

dil muttasil-e-kūcha-e-mahbūb huā gum

luTnā thā pahuñch kar mujhe manzil ke barābar

kam-baḳhtī-e-vā.iz hai ki ho va.az kī sohbat

rindān-e-qadah-nosh kī mahfil ke barābar

ham pī ga.e jo ashk qarīb-e-mizha aayā

kashtī huī jab ġharq to sāhil ke barābar

aahoñ ke sharar gard nahīñ dāġh-e-jigar ke

tābinda haiñ aḳhtar mah-e-kāmil ke barābar

parda na uThā qais ne lailā ko na dekhā

jhoñkā bhī na aayā koī mahmil ke barābar

maqtal meñ ye hasrat rahī ai zo.af pas-e-zab.h

pahuñche na taḌap kar kisī bismil ke barābar

ghar tak dar-e-jānāñ se 'jalāl' aa.iye kyuuñ kar

ek ek qadam hai ka.ī manzil ke barābar

be-bak na dekha koi qatil ke barabar

sharm aankh mein pai na gai til ke barabar

dushman koi ai yar mera aur tera dost

hoga na zamane mein mere dil ke barabar

dil muttasil-e-kucha-e-mahbub hua gum

luTna tha pahunch kar mujhe manzil ke barabar

kam-baKHti-e-waiz hai ki ho waz ki sohbat

rindan-e-qadah-nosh ki mahfil ke barabar

hum pi gae jo ashk qarib-e-mizha aaya

kashti hui jab gharq to sahil ke barabar

aahon ke sharar gard nahin dagh-e-jigar ke

tabinda hain aKHtar mah-e-kaamil ke barabar

parda na uTha qais ne laila ko na dekha

jhonka bhi na aaya koi mahmil ke barabar

maqtal mein ye hasrat rahi ai zoaf pas-e-zabh

pahunche na taDap kar kisi bismil ke barabar

ghar tak dar-e-jaanan se 'jalal' aaiye kyun kar

ek ek qadam hai kai manzil ke barabar
