naqab-e-husn-e-do-alam uthai jati hai
mujhi ko meri tajalli dikhai jati hai

qadam qadam meri himmat badhai jati hai
nafas nafas teri aahat si pai jati hai

wo ek nazar jo ba-mushkil uthai jati hai
wahi nazar rag-o-pai mein samai jati hai

sukun hai maut yahan zauq-e-justuju ke liye
ye tishnagi wo nahin jo bujhai jati hai

khuda wo dard-e-mohabbat har ek ko bakhshe
ki jis mein ruh ki taskin bhi pai jati hai

wo mai-kada hai teri anjuman khuda rakkhe
jahan khayal se pahle pilai jati hai

tere huzur ye kya wardat-e-qalb hai aaj
ki jaise chand pe badli si chhai jati hai

tujhe khabar ho to itni na fursat-e-gham de
ki teri yaad bhi aksar satai jati hai

wo chiz kahte hain firdaus-e-gum-shuda jis ko
kabhi kabhi teri aankhon mein pai jati hai

qarib manzil-e-akhir hai al-firaq 'jigar'
safar tamam hua nind aai jati hai
