Ishq Hi Tanha Nahin Shorida-Sar Mere Liye

Jigar Moradabadi

ishq hi tanha nahin shorida-sar mere liye

husn bhi betab hai aur kis qadar mere liye

haan mubarak ab hai mearaj-e-nazar mere liye

jis qadar vo dur-tar nazdik-tar mere liye

khel hai bazicha-e-sham-o-sahar mere liye

do gul-e-bazi hain ye shams o qamar mere liye

vaqf hai sayyad ki ik ik nazar mere liye

haan mubarak ye shikast-e-bal-o-par mere liye

garm hai hangama-e-sham-o-sahar mere liye

raat din gardish men hain shams o qamar mere liye

main huun vahshi aah kis sahra-e-afat-khez ka

hai gul-e-virana bhi begana-tar mere liye

us maqam-e-ishq men huun marhaba ai be-khudi

zarra zarra hai jahan garm-e-safar mere liye

jazb ho kar rah gaya huun main jamal-e-dost men

ishq hai tabinda-tar painda-tar mere liye

main nahin kahta ki main huun tu ho teri khalvaten

haan magar sab se juda khaas ik nazar mere liye

allah allah main bhi kya nazuk-dimagh-e-ishq huun

nikhat-e-gul bhi hai vajh-e-dard-e-sar mere liye

phir bhi ankhen dhundhti hain ik sarapa naaz ko

main ne maana kuchh nahin hadd-e-nazar mere liye

rah-rav-e-rah-e-talab ko khizr ki hajat nahin

zarra zarra hai charagh-e-rah-guzar mere liye

apne dil men juz tire main bhi sama sakta nahin

mera har har saans hai zanjir-e-dar mere liye

mujh ko jannat hi jo duniya hai to ya-rab bakhsh de

bas yahi daman-e-tar chashman-e-tar mere liye

tark-e-mai se aur bhi main to sharabi ban gaya

roz aa jaata hai mina-e-sahar mere liye

jis ne zahid se bhi kafir ke uda daale hain hosh

us se bhi kuchh aur saaqi tez-tar mere liye

vo mira saghar-ba-kaf hona pashemani ke saath

abr-e-rahmat ka vo uthna jhuum kar mere liye

kal shab-e-mahtab men ik bulbul-e-afat-nava

markaz-e-gham ban raha tha raat bhar mere liye

na-gahan lab-ha-e-barg-e-gul se ye aai nida

naale karta hai abas ai be-khabar mere liye

main bhi huun apni jagah khunin-jigar khunin-kafan

tu na apni jaan kho ai musht-e-par mere liye

bas ye sunna tha ki pa-e-gul pe gir kar mar mita

ban gaya ik naqsh-e-ibrat umr bhar mere liye

zindagi ik tohmat-e-beja hai meri zaat par

maut ik ilzam-e-na-jaez ‘jigar’ mere liye

main to har halat men khush huun lekin us ka kya ilaaj

dabdaba aati hain vo ankhen ‘jigar’ mere liye
