Teri Be-Iltifati Kya Koi Kam Hoti Jati Hai

Jigar Barelvi

teri be-iltifati kya koi kam hoti jaati hai

tabi.at rafta rafta ḳhugar-e-gham hoti jaati hai

hazaron chara-gar hain aur gham baḌhte hi jaate hain

jo surat dekhiye tasvir-e-matam hoti jaati hai

tasalli aap ne di farq hai haan dil ki halat men

jo tham tham kar ḳhalish hoti thi paiham hoti jaati hai

jo chingari thi pahle ab vo bijli ban ga.i baḌh kar

mohabbat umr Dhal jaane se kya kam hoti jaati hai

nazar kya aap ki badli mizaj-e-zindagi badla

jo pahle jan-faza thi mai vahi kam hoti jaati hai

kisi ka gham samo.e jaata hai rag rag men rang aise

ki apni zindagi husn-e-mujassam hoti jaati hai

na ehsas-e-gham-e-janan na ehsas-e-gham-e-dauran

to kyuun manus-e-girya chashm-e-pur-nam hoti jaati hai

sab ulTi paḌ rahi hain shayad azadi ki tadbiren

ki zanjir-e-mohabbat aur mohkam hoti jaati hai

‘jigar’ kya taab la sakta hai koi dil men zaḳhmon ki

magar kuchh ghaib se tadbir-e-marham hoti jaati hai
