tanhai ke sab din hain tanhai ki sab raaten
ab hone lagin un se KHalwat mein mulaqaten
har aan tasalli hai har lahza tashaffi hai
har waqt hai dil-jui har dam hain mudaraaten
mearaj ki si hasil sajdon mein hai kaifiyyat
ek fasiq-o-fajir mein aur aisi karamaten
baiTha hua tauba ki tu KHair manaya kar
Talti nahin yun 'jauhar' is des ki barsaten
Ghazal
Tanhai ke sab din hain tanhai ki sab raaten
Mohammad Ali Jauhar
