lijiye tabani-e-alam ke saman ho gae
dil ke zarre ud ke har jaanib pareshan ho gae

dard-e-tanhai se mar jaana to kuchh mushkil na tha
kya kahen gham se magar kuchh ahd-o-paiman ho gae

iltifat-e-dost ka mumkin nahin koi sila
kam hai jaan-o-dil jo sarf-e-shukr-e-ehsan ho gae

tujh se kya len intiqam ai khak-e-be-barg-o-nawa
wo kahan hain mehr-o-mah tujh mein jo pinhan ho gae

dawat-e-jalwa hai phir barq-e-nigah-e-naz ko
jama phir hasti ke ajza-e-pareshan ho gae

ab main samjha sina-e-sozan ke shaq hone ka raaz
aap pinhan kya hue goya numayan ho gae

jin ko hona hi na tha rah-e-mohabbat mein ghubar
kis tarah wo khak ke putle phir insan ho gae

khak-e-dil ke chand zarre ud gae the ek din
ban ke tare aasmanon par darakhshan ho gae

kuchh khayal-e-dost aaya tha ki aa pahunchi bahaar
jis taraf dekha gulistan hi gulistan ho gae

husn ne roz-e-azal jab rukh se sarkai naqab
chand jalwe rang ban kar bazm-e-imkan ho gae

chha raha hai rang har jaanib bahaar-e-husn ka
wa hain jin ke dida-e-dil gul-badaman ho gae

rafta rafta aarzu-e-rastagari mit gai
rah ke zindan mein 'jigar' aazad-e-zindan ho gae
