tere jamal-e-haqiqat ki tab hi na hui
hazar bar nigah ki magar kabhi na hui

teri khushi se agar gham mein bhi khushi na hui
wo zindagi to mohabbat ki zindagi na hui

kahan wo shokh mulaqat khud se bhi na hui
bas ek bar hui aur phir kabhi na hui

wo hum hain ahl-e-mohabbat ki jaan se dil se
bahut bukhar uthe aankh shabnami na hui

thahar thahar dil-e-betab pyar to kar lun
ab us ke baad mulaqat phir hui na hui

mere khayal se bhi aah mujh ko buad raha
hazar tarah se chaha barabari na hui

hum apni rindi-o-taat pe khak naz karen
qubul-e-hazrat-e-sultan hui hui na hui

koi badhe na badhe hum to jaan dete hain
phir aisi chashm-e-tawajjoh hui hui na hui

tamam harf-o-hikayat tamam dida-o-dil
is ehtimam pe bhi sharh-e-ashiqi na hui

fasurda-khatiri-e-ishq ai maaz-allah
khayal-e-yar se bhi kuchh shaguftagi na hui

teri nigah-e-karam ko bhi aazma dekha
aziyyaton mein na honi thi kuchh kami na hui

kisi ki mast-nigahi ne hath tham liya
sharik-e-haal jahan meri be-khudi na hui

saba ye un se hamara payam kah dena
gae ho jab se yahan subh o sham hi na hui

wo kuchh sahi na sahi phir bhi zahid-e-nadan
bade-badon se mohabbat mein kafiri na hui

idhar se bhi hai siwa kuchh udhar ki majburi
ki hum ne aah to ki un se aah bhi na hui

khayal-e-yar salamat tujhe khuda rakkhe
tere baghair kabhi ghar mein raushni na hui

gae the hum bhi 'jigar' jalwa-gah-e-jaanan mein
wo puchhte hi rahe hum se baat bhi na hui
