'qamar' kisi se bhi dil ka ilaj ho na saka
hum apna dagh dikhate rahe zamane ko

uswa karegi dekh ke duniya mujhe 'qamar'
is chandni mein un ko bulane ko jae kaun

Qamar Jalalvi

---

oenge dekh kar sab bistar ki har shikan ko
wo haal likh chala hun karwaT badal badal ka

Qamar Jalalvi

aushan hai mera nam baDa namwar hun main
shahid hain aasman ke sitare qamar hun main

Qamar Jalalvi

'qamar' zara bhi nahin tum ko KHauf-e-ruswai
chale ho chandni shab mein unhen bulane ko

Qamar Jalalvi

---

'qamar' afshan chuni hai ruKH pe us ne is saliqe se
sitare aasman se dekhne ko aae jate hain

Qamar Jalalvi

---

naza ki aur bhi taklif baDha di tum ne
kuchh na ban aaya to aawaz suna di tum ne

Qamar Jalalvi

---

puchho na araq ruKHsaron se rangini-e-husn ko baDhne do
sunte hain ki shabnam ke qatre phulon ko nikhaara karte hain

wipe not the droplets from your face, let beauty's lustre grow
drops of dew when flowers grace, enhance their freshness so

Qamar Jalalvi

---

shab ko mera janaza jaega yun nikal kar
rah jaenge sahar ko dushman bhi hath mal ka
