dushmanon ne jo dushmani ki hai

dushmanoñ ne jo dushmanī kī hai

dostoñ ne bhī kyā kamī kī hai

ḳhāmushī par haiñ log zer-e-itāb

aur ham ne to baat bhī kī hai

mutma.in hai zamīr to apnā

baat saarī zamīr hī kī hai

apnī to dāstāñ hai bas itnī

ġham uThā.e haiñ shā.erī kī hai

ab nazar meñ nahīñ hai ek hī phuul

fikr ham ko kalī kalī kī hai

pā sakeñge na umr bhar jis ko

justujū aaj bhī usī kī hai

jab mah-o-mahr bujh ga.e 'jālib'

ham ne ashkoñ se raushnī kī hai

dushmanon ne jo dushmani ki hai

doston ne bhi kya kami ki hai

KHamushi par hain log zer-e-itab

aur hum ne to baat bhi ki hai

mutmain hai zamir to apna

baat sari zamir hi ki hai

apni to dastan hai bas itni

gham uThae hain shaeri ki hai

ab nazar mein nahin hai ek hi phul

fikr hum ko kali kali ki hai

pa sakenge na umr bhar jis ko

justuju aaj bhi usi ki hai

jab mah-o-mahr bujh gae 'jalib'

hum ne ashkon se raushni ki hai
