burai kya hai tum ilzam do burai ka
bashar hun main mujhe dawa nahin khudai ka

kiya hai sajda kabhi ya nahin kiya khush hun
jabin pe dagh nahin sajda-e-riyai ka

kisi ke ishq mein diwane hum na gar hote
to raaz khul nahin sakta tha parsai ka

zara tum ab kahin chhup jao har tadap lau hain
ki yaad aaya hai mujh ko maza judai ka

nahin hai meri kisi aur ki hai ye bhi hadis
qusur-war agar hun main khud-satai ka

jise yaqin hai ki us ke nasib mein tum ho
gunah kyun wo kare qismat-azmai ka

rawan-dawan hun mujhe apni dhun mein hosh kahan
bahana le ke jo baithun shikasta-pai ka

usi ki rah mein kante bichhae jate hain
nasib uzr jise hai barahna-pai ka

kise hai ilm nasibon mein mere aap nahin
khayal chhod dun kyun qismat-azmai ka

jo ishq aam hai mere liye hai nang-e-hayat
madar aur hai meri ghazal-sarai ka

bada maza tha tadapne mein tilmilane mein
na bhulta hai na bhulega din judai ka

chaman ho aur shab-e-mahtab-o-halqa-e-ahbab
maza jabhi hai 'jigar' kuchh ghazal-sarai ka
