kisi surat numud-e-soz-e-pinhani nahin jati
kisī sūrat numūd-e-soz-e-pinhānī nahīñ jaatī
bujhā jaatā hai dil chehre kī tābānī nahīñ jaatī
nahīñ jaatī kahāñ tak fikr-e-insānī nahīñ jaatī
magar apnī haqīqat aap pahchānī nahīñ jaatī
nigāhoñ ko ḳhizāñ-nā-āshnā banñā to aa jaa.e
chaman jab tak chaman hai jalva-sāmānī nahīñ jaatī
pashīmān-e-sitam vo dil hī dil meñ rahte haiñ lekin
ḳhushā husne ki tarz-e-nā-pashīmānī nahīñ jaatī
mizāj-e-ahl-e-dil be-kaif-o-mastī rah nahīñ saktā
ki jaise nik.hat-e-gul se pareshānī nahīñ jaatī
sadāqat ho to dil sīnoñ se khiñchne lagte haiñ vaa.iz
haqīqat ḳhud ko manvā letī hai maanī nahīñ jaatī
bulandī chāhiye insān kī fitrat meñ poshīda
koī ho bhes lekin shān-e-sultānī nahīñ jaatī
ga.e vo din ki dil sarmāya-dār-e-dard-e-paiham thā
magar āñkhoñ kī ab tak mīr-sāmānī nahīñ jaatī
jise raunaq tire qadmoñ ne de kar chhīn lī raunaq
vo laakh ābād ho us ghar kī vīrānī nahīñ jaatī
vo yuuñ dil se guzarte haiñ ki aahaT tak nahīñ hotī
vo yuuñ āvāz dete haiñ ki pahchānī nahīñ jaatī
mujhe to kar diyā sairāb saaqī ne mire lekin
mirī sairābiyoñ kī tishna-sāmānī nahīñ jaatī
nahīñ ma.alūm kis aalam meñ husn-e-yār dekhā thā
koī aalam ho lekin dil kī hairānī nahīñ jaatī
jale jaate haiñ baḌh baḌh kar miTe jaate haiñ gir gir kar
huzūr-e-sham.a parvānoñ kī nādānī nahīñ jaatī
mohabbat meñ ik aisā vaqt bhī dil par guzartā hai
ki aañsū ḳhushk ho jaate haiñ tuġhyānī nahīñ jaatī
'jigar' vo bhī ze-sar-tā-pā mohabbat hī mohabbat haiñ
magar un kī mohabbat saaf pahchānī nahīñ jaatī
kisi surat numud-e-soz-e-pinhani nahin jati
bujha jata hai dil chehre ki tabani nahin jati
nahin jati kahan tak fikr-e-insani nahin jati
magar apni haqiqat aap pahchani nahin jati
nigahon ko KHizan-na-ashna banna to aa jae
chaman jab tak chaman hai jalwa-samani nahin jati
pashiman-e-sitam wo dil hi dil mein rahte hain lekin
KHusha husne ki tarz-e-na-pashimani nahin jati
mizaj-e-ahl-e-dil be-kaif-o-masti rah nahin sakta
ki jaise nikhat-e-gul se pareshani nahin jati
sadaqat ho to dil sinon se khinchne lagte hain waiz
haqiqat KHud ko manwa leti hai mani nahin jati
bulandi chahiye insan ki fitrat mein poshida
koi ho bhes lekin shan-e-sultani nahin jati
gae wo din ki dil sarmaya-dar-e-dard-e-paiham tha
magar aankhon ki ab tak mir-samani nahin jati
jise raunaq tere qadmon ne de kar chhin li raunaq
wo lakh aabaad ho us ghar ki virani nahin jati
wo yun dil se guzarte hain ki aahaT tak nahin hoti
wo yun aawaz dete hain ki pahchani nahin jati
mujhe to kar diya sairab saqi ne mere lekin
meri sairabiyon ki tishna-samani nahin jati
nahin malum kis aalam mein husn-e-yar dekha tha
koi aalam ho lekin dil ki hairani nahin jati
jale jate hain baDh baDh kar miTe jate hain gir gir kar
huzur-e-shama parwanon ki nadani nahin jati
mohabbat mein ek aisa waqt bhi dil par guzarta hai
ki aansu KHushk ho jate hain tughyani nahin jati
'jigar' wo bhi ze-sar-ta-pa mohabbat hi mohabbat hain
magar un ki mohabbat saf pahchani nahin jati
