Ishq-E-La-Mahdud Jab Tak Rahnuma Hota Nahin

Jigar Moradabadi

ishq-e-la-mahdud jab tak rahnuma hota nahin

zindagi se zindagi ka haq ada hota nahin

be-karan hota nahin be-intiha hota nahin

qatra jab tak badh ke qulzum-ashna hota nahin

us se badh kar dost koi dusra hota nahin

sab juda ho jaaen lekin gham juda hota nahin

zindagi ik hadsa hai aur kaisa hadsa

maut se bhi khatm jis ka silsila hota nahin

kaun ye naseh ko samjhae ba-tarz-e-dil-nashin

ishq sadiq ho to gham bhi be-maza hota nahin

dard se mamur hoti ja rahi hai kaenat

ik dil-e-insan magar dard-ashna hota nahin

mere arz-e-gham pe vo kahna kisi ka haae haae

shikva-e-gham sheva-e-ahl-e-vafa hota nahin

us maqam-e-qarb tak ab ishq pahuncha hi jahan

dida-o-dil ka bhi aksar vasta hota nahin

har qadam ke saath manzil lekin is ka kya ilaaj

ishq hi kam-bakht manzil-ashna hota nahin

allah allah ye kamal aur irtibat-e-husn-o-ishq

fasle hon laakh dil se dil juda hota nahin

kya qayamat hai ki is daur-e-taraqqi men ‘jigar’

aadmi se aadmi ka haq ada hota nahin
