dost ki pahchan

bachcho nizām-ul-mulk vazīr

dānā.ī kī thā tasvīr

us se milne ko sad.hā

aate the adnā a.alā

achchhī jagah par biThlātā

aur mohabbat farmātā

ik būḌhā aatā har din

had se ziyāda jis kā sin

logoñ ne us se pūchhā

aatā kyoñ hai ye buDDhā

karte ho kyoñ us kī izzat

is buDDhe kī ye azmat

bolā un sab se ye vazīr

hai achchhā tum se ye faqīr

tum to ḳhushāmad karte ho

merī ḳhushī par marte ho

lekin ye buDDhā daanā

mere aib hai batlātā

dost ye hai merā aslī

maanā huuñ har baat is kī

is ko na dushman jaano tum

merā kahnā maano to tum

dost vahī hai ai 'jauhar'

baat kahe sachchī muñh par

bachcho nizam-ul-mulk wazir

danai ki tha taswir

us se milne ko sadha

aate the adna aala

achchhi jagah par biThlata

aur mohabbat farmata

ek buDha aata har din

had se ziyaada jis ka sin

logon ne us se puchha

aata kyon hai ye buDDha

karte ho kyon us ki izzat

is buDDhe ki ye azmat

bola un sab se ye wazir

hai achchha tum se ye faqir

tum to KHushamad karte ho

meri KHushi par marte ho

lekin ye buDDha dana

mere aib hai batlata

dost ye hai mera asli

mana hun har baat is ki

is ko na dushman jaano tum

mera kahna mano to tum

dost wahi hai ai 'jauhar'

baat kahe sachchi munh par
