hunuz yaad hai
zahe-nashāt zahe-husn iztirāb tirā
nazar kī chheḌ se bajtā thā jab rabāb tirā
na ab vo kaif kī rāteñ na vo bahār ke din
ki mahv-e-nāz na thā husn-e-lā-javāb tirā
dam-e-vidā.a vo rañgīñ udāsiyāñ terī
hunūz yaad hai vo dīda-e-pur-āb tirā
vo jhuum jhuum ke abr-e-bahār kā aanā
vo bijliyoñ kī taḌap aur vo iztirāb tirā
vo ibtidā-e-mohabbat vo chāñdnī rāteñ
vo sehn-e-bāġh meñ hañstā huā shabāb tirā
sambhal sambhal ke mirī samt vo nigāh tirī
bachā bachā ke nazar mujh se vo ḳhitāb tirā
mirā harīm-e-tamannā thā āsmāñ se buland
is āsmāñ pe chamaktā thā āftāb tirā
abhī nazar meñ hai rāz-o-niyāz kā aalam
vo merī ijz-e-mohabbat vo pech-o-tāb tirā
kabhī sitam ke liye aur kabhī karam ke liye
nigāh-e-shoḳh meñ Duubā huā hijāb tirā
mirā savāl ba-qadr-e-hujūm-e-shauq-e-nihāñ
hayā kī aaḌ meñ chhuptā huā javāb tirā
hanūz yaad hai 'jauhar' ko ai nigār-e-jamīl
vo iltifāt ke parde meñ ijtināb tirā
zahe-nashat zahe-husn iztirab tera
nazar ki chheD se bajta tha jab rabab tera
na ab wo kaif ki raaten na wo bahaar ke din
ki mahw-e-naz na tha husn-e-la-jawab tera
dam-e-widaa wo rangin udasiyan teri
hunuz yaad hai wo dida-e-pur-ab tera
wo jhum jhum ke abr-e-bahaar ka aana
wo bijliyon ki taDap aur wo iztirab tera
wo ibtida-e-mohabbat wo chandni raaten
wo sehn-e-bagh mein hansta hua shabab tera
sambhal sambhal ke meri samt wo nigah teri
bacha bacha ke nazar mujh se wo KHitab tera
mera harim-e-tamanna tha aasman se buland
is aasman pe chamakta tha aaftab tera
abhi nazar mein hai raaz-o-niyaz ka aalam
wo meri ijz-e-mohabbat wo pech-o-tab tera
kabhi sitam ke liye aur kabhi karam ke liye
nigah-e-shoKH mein Duba hua hijab tera
mera sawal ba-qadr-e-hujum-e-shauq-e-nihan
haya ki aaD mein chhupta hua jawab tera
hanuz yaad hai 'jauhar' ko ai nigar-e-jamil
wo iltifat ke parde mein ijtinab tera
