Udasiyan Sahar-O-Sham Ki Nahin Achchhi

Jigar Barelvi

udasiyan sahar-o-sham ki nahin achchhi

‘jigar’ ye ḳhu dil-e-nakam ki nahin achchhi

chhalak chale na kahin zarf ai dil-e-maḳhmur

bahut havas mai-e-gulfam ki nahin achchhi

unhin ko karti hai be-ḳhanuman jo be-ghar hain

ravish ye gardish-e-ayyam ki nahin achchhi

kisi ki shan-e-taghaful se hai vaqar-e-naz

umiid nama-o-paigham ki nahin achchhi

siva.e kashmakash-o-iztirab kya hasil

kured qismat o anjam ki nahin achchhi

dil-e-hazin na kahin ishq bad-guman ho jaa.e

talash rahat-o-aram ki nahin achchhi

kahin ye phulon ke iima se hon na murgh-e-asir

shikayaten qafas-o-dam ki nahin achchhi

‘jigar’ ye yaad kahin zahr ho na jaa.e tumhen

jo raT lagi hai kisi naam ki nahin achchhi
