sitam-e-kaamyab ne mara
karam-e-la-jawab ne mara

khud hui gum hamein bhi kho baithi
nigah-e-bazyab ne mara

zindagi thi hijab ke dam tak
barhami-e-hijab ne mara

ishq ke har sukun-e-akhir ko
husn ke iztirab ne mara

khud nazar ban gai hijab-e-nazar
hae us be-hijab ne mara

main tera aks hun ki tu mera
is sawal-o-jawab ne mara

koi puchhe ki rah ke pahlu mein
tir kya iztirab ne mara

bach raha jo teri tajalli se
us ko tere hijab ne mara

ab nazar ko kahin qarar nahin
kawish-e-intikhab ne mara

sab ko mara 'jigar' ke sheron ne
aur 'jigar' ko sharab ne mara
