kyuuñ vasl meñ bhī aañkh milā.ī nahīñ jaatī
vo farq diloñ kā vo judā.ī nahīñ jaatī
kyā dhuum bhī nāloñ se machā.ī nahīñ jaatī
sotī huī taqdīr jagā.ī nahīñ jaatī
kuchh shikva na karte na bigaḌtā vo shab-e-vasl
ab ham se koī baat banā.ī nahīñ jaatī
dekho to zarā ḳhaak meñ ham milte haiñ kyūñkar
ye nīchī nigah ab bhī uThā.ī nahīñ jaatī
kahtī hai shab-e-hijr bahut zinda rahoge
māñgā karo tum maut abhī aa.ī nahīñ jaatī
vo ham se mukaddar haiñ to ham un se mukaddar
kah dete haiñ saaf apnī safā.ī nahīñ jaatī
ham sulh bhī kar leñ to chalī jaatī hai un meñ
bāham dil o dilbar kī laḌā.ī nahīñ jaatī
ḳhud dil meñ chale aaoge jab qasd karoge
ye raah batāne se batā.ī nahīñ jaatī
chhuptī hai 'jalāl' āñkhoñ meñ kab hasrat-e-dīdār
sau parde agar hoñ to chhupā.ī nahīñ jaatī
kyun wasl mein bhi aankh milai nahin jati
wo farq dilon ka wo judai nahin jati
kya dhum bhi nalon se machai nahin jati
soti hui taqdir jagai nahin jati
kuchh shikwa na karte na bigaDta wo shab-e-wasl
ab hum se koi baat banai nahin jati
dekho to zara KHak mein hum milte hain kyunkar
ye nichi nigah ab bhi uThai nahin jati
kahti hai shab-e-hijr bahut zinda rahoge
manga karo tum maut abhi aai nahin jati
wo hum se mukaddar hain to hum un se mukaddar
kah dete hain saf apni safai nahin jati
hum sulh bhi kar len to chali jati hai un mein
baham dil o dilbar ki laDai nahin jati
KHud dil mein chale aaoge jab qasd karoge
ye rah batane se batai nahin jati
chhupti hai 'jalal' aankhon mein kab hasrat-e-didar
sau parde agar hon to chhupai nahin jati
