tabiat in dinon begana-e-gham hoti jati hai

tabī.at in dinoñ begāna-e-ġham hotī jaatī hai

mire hisse kī goyā har ḳhushī kam hotī jaatī hai

sahar hone ko hai bedār shabnam hotī jaatī hai

ḳhushī minjumala-o-asbāb-e-mātam hotī jaatī hai

qayāmat kyā ye ai husn-e-do-ālam hotī jaatī hai

ki mahfil to vahī hai dil-kashī kam hotī jaatī hai

vahī mai-ḳhāna-o-sahbā vahī sāġhar vahī shīsha

magar āvāz-e-noshā-nosh maddham hotī jaatī hai

vahī haiñ shāhid-o-sāqī magar dil bujhtā jaatā hai

vahī hai sham.a lekin raushnī kam hotī jaatī hai

vahī shorish hai lekin jaise mauj-e-tah-nashīñ koī

vahī dil hai magar āvāz maddham hotī jaatī hai

vahī hai zindagī lekin 'jigar' ye haal hai apnā

ki jaise zindagī se zindagī kam hotī jaatī hai

tabiat in dinon begana-e-gham hoti jati hai

mere hisse ki goya har KHushi kam hoti jati hai

sahar hone ko hai bedar shabnam hoti jati hai

KHushi minjumala-o-asbab-e-matam hoti jati hai

qayamat kya ye ai husn-e-do-alam hoti jati hai

ki mahfil to wahi hai dil-kashi kam hoti jati hai

wahi mai-KHana-o-sahba wahi saghar wahi shisha

magar aawaz-e-nosha-nosh maddham hoti jati hai

wahi hain shahid-o-saqi magar dil bujhta jata hai

wahi hai shama lekin raushni kam hoti jati hai

wahi shorish hai lekin jaise mauj-e-tah-nashin koi

wahi dil hai magar aawaz maddham hoti jati hai

wahi hai zindagi lekin 'jigar' ye haal hai apna

ki jaise zindagi se zindagi kam hoti jati hai
