jab koi gham hi na ho ashk bahaun kaise
khud ko duniya ki adakari sikhaun kaise

teri har ek jhalak aur badhati hai talab
aise mein pyas nigahon ki bujhaun kaise

khud-bakhud aankhon ke paimane chhalak padte hain
shiddat-e-gham ko chhupaun to chhupaun kaise

chand-taron se zara bhi tujhe taskin nahin
zindagi ab main teri mang sajaun kaise

jis ko aane ki tasawwur mein bhi fursat na mile
haal-e-dil us ko sunaun to sunaun kaise

bach ke duniya ki nigahon se khata kar to lun
apni nazron se magar khud ko giraun kaise

aag ho to use pani se bujha bhi lun 'jigar'
ye lagi dil ki hai main us ko bujhaun kaise
