jafa-e-yar ko hum lutf-e-yar kahte hain

jafā-e-yār ko ham lutf-e-yār kahte haiñ

ḳhizāñ ko apnī zabāñ meñ bahār kahte haiñ

vo ek sunte nahīñ ham hazār kahte haiñ

magar fasāna bahar-e'tibār kahte haiñ

zamāna qaid ko samjhe hue hai āzādī

kisī ke jabr ko ham iḳhtiyār kahte haiñ

qafas meñ rah ke mujhe ye bhī imtiyāz nahīñ

kise ḳhizāñ kise fasl-e-bahār kahte haiñ

nafas nafas jo payām-e-hayāt detī hai

usī nazar ko taġhāful-shi.ār kahte haiñ

tumhāre husn kī jis dil ko raushnī na mile

ham aise dil ko charāġh-e-mazār kahte haiñ

tirī nigāh-e-taġhāful se dil ne paayā hai

vo ek kaif jise intizār kahte haiñ

mohabbat aur mohabbat meñ ārzū-e-visāl

ham is bahār ko nañg-e-bahār kahte haiñ

ḳhadañg-e-nāz abhī hai tumhārī chuTkī meñ

na jaane log mujhe kyuuñ 'figār' kahte haiñ

jafa-e-yar ko hum lutf-e-yar kahte hain

KHizan ko apni zaban mein bahaar kahte hain

wo ek sunte nahin hum hazar kahte hain

magar fasana bahar-e'tibar kahte hain

zamana qaid ko samjhe hue hai aazadi

kisi ke jabr ko hum iKHtiyar kahte hain

qafas mein rah ke mujhe ye bhi imtiyaz nahin

kise KHizan kise fasl-e-bahaar kahte hain

nafas nafas jo payam-e-hayat deti hai

usi nazar ko taghaful-shiar kahte hain

tumhaare husn ki jis dil ko raushni na mile

hum aise dil ko charagh-e-mazar kahte hain

teri nigah-e-taghaful se dil ne paya hai

wo ek kaif jise intizar kahte hain

mohabbat aur mohabbat mein aarzu-e-visal

hum is bahaar ko nang-e-bahaar kahte hain

KHadang-e-naz abhi hai tumhaari chuTki mein

na jaane log mujhe kyun 'figar' kahte hain
