kya KHabar thi yar ke aate hi aafat aaegi

kyā ḳhabar thī yaar ke aate hī aafat aa.egī

qāmat-e-zebā meñ poshīda qayāmat aa.egī

pahlū-e-vīrāñ ko apne dekh kar kahtā huuñ maiñ

dil na DhūñDhūñgā yahāñ un kī nadāmat aa.egī

ġham nahīñ monis na ho koī tire bīmār kā

vādī-e-ġhurbat meñ us ke saath himmat aa.egī

is tasavvur meñ na dekhā ā.īna us yaar ne

ban ke jān-e-mubtalā mir.at meñ hairat aa.egī

mārte haiñ be-gunah vo roz ik nāshād ko

rafta rafta ek din apnī bhī naubat aa.egī

dushmanoñ ne ye samajh kar bazm se rokā mujhe

dekh kar shāyad mujhe un ko muravvat aa.egī

merī betābī kī hālat se unheñ aagah kiyā

haif tujh meñ nāma-bar kab ādmiyyat aa.egī

go ġharīb-e-be-vatan huuñ bā'd-e-murdan dekhnā

āh-o-zārī ko mirī turbat pe hasrat aa.egī

hai dam-e-murdan tasavvur ai but-e-zebā tirā

maut aa.egī to ban kar terī sūrat aa.egī

ai 'jamīla' is dil-e-vahshī kī hālat dekh kar

qais ko farhād ko vāmiq ko 'ibrat aa.egī

kya KHabar thi yar ke aate hi aafat aaegi

qamat-e-zeba mein poshida qayamat aaegi

pahlu-e-viran ko apne dekh kar kahta hun main

dil na DhunDhunga yahan un ki nadamat aaegi

gham nahin monis na ho koi tere bimar ka

wadi-e-ghurbat mein us ke sath himmat aaegi

is tasawwur mein na dekha aaina us yar ne

ban ke jaan-e-mubtala mirat mein hairat aaegi

marte hain be-gunah wo roz ek nashad ko

rafta rafta ek din apni bhi naubat aaegi

dushmanon ne ye samajh kar bazm se roka mujhe

dekh kar shayad mujhe un ko murawwat aaegi

meri betabi ki haalat se unhen aagah kiya

haif tujh mein nama-bar kab aadmiyyat aaegi

go gharib-e-be-watan hun ba'd-e-murdan dekhna

aah-o-zari ko meri turbat pe hasrat aaegi

hai dam-e-murdan tasawwur ai but-e-zeba tera

maut aaegi to ban kar teri surat aaegi

ai 'jamila' is dil-e-wahshi ki haalat dekh kar

qais ko farhad ko wamiq ko 'ibrat aaegi
