nigah barq nahin chehra aaftab nahin
nigāh barq nahīñ chehra āftāb nahīñ
vo aadmī hai magar dekhne kī taab nahīñ
gunah gunah na rahā itnī bāda-noshī kī
ab ek shaġhl hai kuchh lazzat-e-sharāb nahīñ
hameñ to duur se āñkheñ dikhā.ī jaatī haiñ
naqāb lipTī hai us par koī itaab nahīñ
piye baġhair chaḌhī rahtī hai hasīnoñ ko
vahāñ shabāb hai kyā kam agar sharāb nahīñ
bahār detā hai chhan chhan ke nuur chehre kā
sar-e-naqāb hai jo kuchh tah-e-naqāb nahīñ
vo apne aks ko āvāz de ke kahte haiñ
tirā javāb to maiñ huuñ mirā javāb nahīñ
use bhī aap ke hoñToñ kā paḌ gayā chaskā
hazār chhoḌiye chhuTne kī ab sharāb nahīñ
butoñ se parda uThāne kī bahas hai bekār
khulī dalīl hai kaaba bhī be-naqāb nahīñ
'jalīl' ḳhatm na ho daur-e-jām-e-mīnā.ī
ki is sharāb se baḌh kar koī sharāb nahīñ
nigah barq nahin chehra aaftab nahin
wo aadmi hai magar dekhne ki tab nahin
gunah gunah na raha itni baada-noshi ki
ab ek shaghl hai kuchh lazzat-e-sharab nahin
hamein to dur se aankhen dikhai jati hain
naqab lipTi hai us par koi itab nahin
piye baghair chaDhi rahti hai hasinon ko
wahan shabab hai kya kam agar sharab nahin
bahaar deta hai chhan chhan ke nur chehre ka
sar-e-naqab hai jo kuchh tah-e-naqab nahin
wo apne aks ko aawaz de ke kahte hain
tera jawab to main hun mera jawab nahin
use bhi aap ke honTon ka paD gaya chaska
hazar chhoDiye chhuTne ki ab sharab nahin
buton se parda uThane ki bahas hai bekar
khuli dalil hai kaba bhi be-naqab nahin
'jalil' KHatm na ho daur-e-jam-e-minai
ki is sharab se baDh kar koi sharab nahin
