kaho to aaj dil-e-be-qarar kaise ho

kaho to aaj dil-e-be-qarār kaise ho

shab-e-alam ke satā.e nazār kaise ho

havas yahī hai ki pūchhe vo aa ke ham se kabhī

hamārī diid ke ummīd-vār kaise ho

taḌap rahe ho lahad meñ ki chain-o-rāhat hai

kaho to mujh se ki ahl-e-mazār kaise ho

na is tarah karo pāmāl dil ko āshiq ke

samand-e-nāz ko roko savār kaise ho

hamārī raah na khoTī karo ḳhudā ke liye

hameñ satāo na sahrā ke ḳhaar kaise ho

kinārā ḳhvāb ko hai chashm-e-tar se āshiq ke

ḳhayāl-e-jalva-e-dīdār-e-yār kaise ho

'jamīla' merī zabāñ se na kuchh nikal jaa.e

vo mujh se pūchhte haiñ baar baar kaise ho

kaho to aaj dil-e-be-qarar kaise ho

shab-e-alam ke satae nazar kaise ho

hawas yahi hai ki puchhe wo aa ke hum se kabhi

hamari did ke ummid-war kaise ho

taDap rahe ho lahad mein ki chain-o-rahat hai

kaho to mujh se ki ahl-e-mazar kaise ho

na is tarah karo pamal dil ko aashiq ke

samand-e-naz ko roko sawar kaise ho

hamari rah na khoTi karo KHuda ke liye

hamein satao na sahra ke KHar kaise ho

kinara KHwab ko hai chashm-e-tar se aashiq ke

KHayal-e-jalwa-e-didar-e-yar kaise ho

'jamila' meri zaban se na kuchh nikal jae

wo mujh se puchhte hain bar bar kaise ho
