be-bāk na dekhā koī qātil ke barābar
sharm aañkh meñ paa.ī na ga.ī til ke barābar
dushman koī ai yaar mirā aur tirā dost
hogā na zamāne meñ mire dil ke barābar
dil muttasil-e-kūcha-e-mahbūb huā gum
luTnā thā pahuñch kar mujhe manzil ke barābar
kam-baḳhtī-e-vā.iz hai ki ho va.az kī sohbat
rindān-e-qadah-nosh kī mahfil ke barābar
ham pī ga.e jo ashk qarīb-e-mizha aayā
kashtī huī jab ġharq to sāhil ke barābar
aahoñ ke sharar gard nahīñ dāġh-e-jigar ke
tābinda haiñ aḳhtar mah-e-kāmil ke barābar
parda na uThā qais ne lailā ko na dekhā
jhoñkā bhī na aayā koī mahmil ke barābar
maqtal meñ ye hasrat rahī ai zo.af pas-e-zab.h
pahuñche na taḌap kar kisī bismil ke barābar
ghar tak dar-e-jānāñ se 'jalāl' aa.iye kyuuñ kar
ek ek qadam hai ka.ī manzil ke barābar
be-bak na dekha koi qatil ke barabar
sharm aankh mein pai na gai til ke barabar
dushman koi ai yar mera aur tera dost
hoga na zamane mein mere dil ke barabar
dil muttasil-e-kucha-e-mahbub hua gum
luTna tha pahunch kar mujhe manzil ke barabar
kam-baKHti-e-waiz hai ki ho waz ki sohbat
rindan-e-qadah-nosh ki mahfil ke barabar
hum pi gae jo ashk qarib-e-mizha aaya
kashti hui jab gharq to sahil ke barabar
aahon ke sharar gard nahin dagh-e-jigar ke
tabinda hain aKHtar mah-e-kaamil ke barabar
parda na uTha qais ne laila ko na dekha
jhonka bhi na aaya koi mahmil ke barabar
maqtal mein ye hasrat rahi ai zoaf pas-e-zabh
pahunche na taDap kar kisi bismil ke barabar
ghar tak dar-e-jaanan se 'jalal' aaiye kyun kar
ek ek qadam hai kai manzil ke barabar
