hum ko tasir-e-gham se marna hai
ab isi rang mein nikharna hai

dil-e-muztar ka khun karna hai
nala-e-gham mein dard bharna hai

zindagi kya hai sabr karna hai
khun ka ghunt pi ke marna hai

jaan-nisari qubul ho ki na ho
hum ko apni si kar guzarna hai

husn ho ishq ho junun ho ki hosh
sab se begana dil ko karna hai

ab koi zahr de ki baada-e-nab
ek paimana hum ko bharna hai

dekh li hum ne ishq ki miras
is se aage bhi ab guzarna hai

mauj-e-dariya hain hum hamara kya
kabhi mitna kabhi ubharna hai

dhundhta phirta hun nigah-e-khulus
dil-e-murda ko zinda karna hai

samm-e-qatil 'jigar' nahin milta
dil ka qissa tamam karna hai
