na KHum-o-subu hue chur abhi na hijab-e-pir-e-mughan uTha

na ḳhum-o-subū hue chuur abhī na hijāb-e-pīr-e-muġhāñ uThā

abhī mast bāda-parast haiñ abhī lutf-e-bāda kahāñ uThā

jo huzūr chīñ-ba-jabīñ hue kahā kis ne shor-e-fuġhāñ uThā

rahe ḳhair barq-e-nigāh kī koī dil jalā na dhuāñ uThā

ye kahe zamāna javāñ hai to qadam aisā mard-e-javāñ uThā

jo na bār-e-ishq uThā sake to balā se teġh-o-sināñ uThā

ye kahāñ bahār-e-jamāl hai ki jahāñ ḳhizāñ na zavāl hai

tirī bazm-e-nāz se jo uThā vo hasīñ uThā vo javāñ uThā

jo baḌhe to jaan pe aa bane jo ghaTe to jaan pe aa bane

jise dil nasīb se mil gayā ajab us ke dard-e-nihāñ uThā

kisī rahguzar meñ paḌe haiñ ham abas āsmāñ kī haiñ ranjisheñ

koī laakh uThā.e uTheñge kyā kahīñ paañv kā bhī nishāñ uThā

hai hijāb-e-husn kā ye asar kisī ḳhud-parast ko kyā ḳhabar

jo azal se siine meñ josh thā vahī ban ke shor-e-fuġhāñ uThā

kisī mai-kada meñ rahā 'jigar' ki thā mahv-e-ḳhvāb meñ raat bhar

huiiñ kyā bashārateñ sub.h-dam ki uThā to zamzama-ḳhvāñ uThā

jo hue farishtoñ meñ mashvare kare kaun ishq kī raah tai

kamar apnī bāñdh ke jo uThā to 'jigar' sā mard-e-javāñ uThā

na KHum-o-subu hue chur abhi na hijab-e-pir-e-mughan uTha

abhi mast baada-parast hain abhi lutf-e-baada kahan uTha

jo huzur chin-ba-jabin hue kaha kis ne shor-e-fughan uTha

rahe KHair barq-e-nigah ki koi dil jala na dhuan uTha

ye kahe zamana jawan hai to qadam aisa mard-e-jawan uTha

jo na bar-e-ishq uTha sake to bala se tegh-o-sinan uTha

ye kahan bahaar-e-jamal hai ki jahan KHizan na zawal hai

teri bazm-e-naz se jo uTha wo hasin uTha wo jawan uTha

jo baDhe to jaan pe aa bane jo ghaTe to jaan pe aa bane

jise dil nasib se mil gaya ajab us ke dard-e-nihan uTha

kisi rahguzar mein paDe hain hum abas aasman ki hain ranjishen

koi lakh uThae uThenge kya kahin panw ka bhi nishan uTha

hai hijab-e-husn ka ye asar kisi KHud-parast ko kya KHabar

jo azal se sine mein josh tha wahi ban ke shor-e-fughan uTha

kisi mai-kada mein raha 'jigar' ki tha mahw-e-KHwab mein raat bhar

huin kya bashaaraten subh-dam ki uTha to zamzama-KHwan uTha

jo hue farishton mein mashware kare kaun ishq ki rah tai

kamar apni bandh ke jo uTha to 'jigar' sa mard-e-jawan uTha
