Jigar Moradabadi
dil gaya raunaq-e-hayat gai
gham gaya saari kaenat gai
dil dhadakte hi phir gai vo nazar
lab tak aai na thi ki baat gai
din ka kya zikr tira-bakhton men
ek raat aai ek raat gai
teri baton se aaj to vaaiz
vo jo thi khvahish-e-najat gai
un ke bahlae bhi na bahla dil
raegan sai-e-iltifat gai
marg-e-ashiq to kuchh nahin lekin
ik masiha-nafas ki baat gai
ab junun aap hai gareban-gir
ab vo rasm-e-takallufat gai
ham ne bhi vaz-e-gham badal daali
jab se vo tarz-e-iltifat gai
tark-e-ulfat bahut baja naseh
lekin us tak agar ye baat gai
haan maze luut le javani ke
phir na aaegi ye jo raat gai
haan ye sarshariyan javani ki
aankh jhapki hi thi ki raat gai
jalva-e-zat ai maaz-allah
tab-e-aina-e-sifat gai
nahin milta mizaj-e-dil ham se
ghaliban duur tak ye baat gai
qaid-e-hasti se kab najat ‘jigar’
maut aai agar hayat gai
