Gham Sahte Sahte Muddat Tak Aisi Bhi Haalat Hoti Hai

Jigar Barelvi

gham sahte sahte muddat tak aisi bhi halat hoti hai

ankhon men ashk umaDte hain rone se nafrat hoti hai

jab raat ka sannaTa hota hai dil men ḳhalvat hoti hai

tum chandni jaise chhiTka do aisi kaifiyyat hoti hai

aalam par jaise chha.e hon mahbub ki god men aa.e hon

ab dil ki mohabbat men aksar aisi mahviyyat hoti hai

jab hasrat-o-arman miT jaa.en kuchh aas na ho kuchh yaas na ho

jab maut ki niind aa.e dil ko bedar mohabbat hoti hai

jab ranj zamana deta hai ham maut ko davat dete hain

phir tum kyuun yaad aa jaate ho jiine ko tabi.at hoti hai

meraj-e-junun ke raste men aisa bhi maqam ik aata hai

ham hosh men hote hain lekin apne se bhi vahshat hoti hai

be-dad ki bhi us zalim ko vo pyari ada.en aati hain

mar mar ke jiye jaane ko ‘jigar’ afsos tabi.at hoti hai
