maut aai kitni bar nai zindagi hui
nikli magar na phans jigar mein chhupi hui

ab ho bhi koi mail-e-lutf-o-karam to kya
hoti nahin shagufta tabiat bujhi hui

mausam yahi bahaar ka hai ishq ke liye
aati nahin palat ke jawani gai hui

kuchh zahr ka nasha hai to kuchh tharthari si hai
rag rag mein aaj hai koi shai pairti hui

aab-e-hayat bhi koi chhidke agar to kya
bujhti nahin hai aag jigar mein lagi hui

aai hai sans dusri nashtar liye hue
ek sans mein hamein jo masarrat kabhi hui

har roz ek dard naya dil mein hai 'jigar'
har raat sochte hain ki had dard ki hui

sahra mein chal ke gham ko bhula do utho 'jigar'
dekho wo aa rahi hai ghata jhumti hui
