sub.h ho shaam judā.ī kī ye mumkin hī nahīñ
hijr kī raat vo hai jis ke liye din hī nahīñ
sub.h karnā shab-e-ġham kā kabhī mumkin hī nahīñ
aa ke din pher de apne vo koī din hī nahīñ
dil-e-be-tāb mohabbat ko ho kis tarah sukūñ
donoñ harfoñ meñ jab us ke koī sākin hī nahīñ
kyā mazammat hai mujhe sub.h-e-shab-e-hijr un se
jin se kahtā thā ki bachnā mirā mumkin hī nahīñ
shab-e-furqat use maut aa ga.ī mere badle
de azaañ sub.h kī kaun aaj mo.azzin hī nahīñ
bistar-e-ġham se uThā kar ye biThātā hai hameñ
koī juz dard-e-jigar aur muāvin hī nahīñ
raah chalte bhī ye pūchheñ ki kidhar aa nikle
jaise ham kūcha-e-mahbūb ke sākin hī nahīñ
yād-e-gesū ne dikhāyā hai vo aalam ham ko
raat rahtī hai jahāñ aaTh pahar din hī nahīñ
banda-e-ishq haiñ īmān kī kahte haiñ 'jalāl'
ham ko kāfir jo samajhtā hai vo momin hī nahīñ
subh ho sham judai ki ye mumkin hi nahin
hijr ki raat wo hai jis ke liye din hi nahin
subh karna shab-e-gham ka kabhi mumkin hi nahin
aa ke din pher de apne wo koi din hi nahin
dil-e-be-tab mohabbat ko ho kis tarah sukun
donon harfon mein jab us ke koi sakin hi nahin
kya mazammat hai mujhe subh-e-shab-e-hijr un se
jin se kahta tha ki bachna mera mumkin hi nahin
shab-e-furqat use maut aa gai mere badle
de azan subh ki kaun aaj moazzin hi nahin
bistar-e-gham se uTha kar ye biThata hai hamein
koi juz dard-e-jigar aur muawin hi nahin
rah chalte bhi ye puchhen ki kidhar aa nikle
jaise hum kucha-e-mahbub ke sakin hi nahin
yaad-e-gesu ne dikhaya hai wo aalam hum ko
raat rahti hai jahan aaTh pahar din hi nahin
banda-e-ishq hain iman ki kahte hain 'jalal'
hum ko kafir jo samajhta hai wo momin hi nahin
