chashm-e-hairāñ ko tamāshā-e-digar par rakkhā
aur is dil ko tirī ḳhair-ḳhabar par rakkhā
ain-mumkin hai charāġhoñ ko vo ḳhātir meñ na laa.e
ghar kā ghar ham ne uThā rāhguzar par rakkhā
bojh se jhukne lagī shāḳh to jā kar ham ne
āshiyāne ko kisī aur shajar par rakkhā
chaman-e-dahr meñ is tarah basar kī ham ne
sāya-e-gul kā bhī ehsān na sar par rakkhā
us kī āvāz pe bāhar nikal aayā huuñ 'jamāl'
saarā asbāb-e-safar rah gayā ghar par rakkhā
chashm-e-hairan ko tamasha-e-digar par rakkha
aur is dil ko teri KHair-KHabar par rakkha
ain-mumkin hai charaghon ko wo KHatir mein na lae
ghar ka ghar hum ne uTha rahguzar par rakkha
bojh se jhukne lagi shaKH to ja kar hum ne
aashiyane ko kisi aur shajar par rakkha
chaman-e-dahr mein is tarah basar ki hum ne
saya-e-gul ka bhi ehsan na sar par rakkha
us ki aawaz pe bahar nikal aaya hun 'jamal'
sara asbab-e-safar rah gaya ghar par rakkha
