unhen aadat hamein lazzat sitam ki
udhar shamshir idhar taqdir chamki
kahun kya dard-e-dil kab se baDha hai
nigah-e-lutf tum ne jab se kam ki
qadam chumenge tere ho ke pamal
chalenge chaal hum naqsh-e-qadam ki
yahan tak un ke wade jhuT nikle
qasam ko bhi hui hajat qasam ki
wo zulf-e-mushk-bu bikhri hui thi
khuli chori nasim-e-subh-dam ki
yahan tak un ko pas-e-raaz-e-KHat tha
ki KHame ki zaban pahle qalam ki
zamin par is ada se panw rakkha
ki aankhen khul gain naqsh-e-qadam ki
kahan piri mein wo raushan-bayani
zaban to hai charagh-e-subh-dam ki
kahan hum aur kahan baKHshish hamari
'jalil' ek mauj bhi abr-e-karam ki
Ghazal
Unhen aadat hamein lazzat sitam ki
