labon pe mauj-e-tabassum nigah mein barq-e-ghazab
koi batae ye andaz-e-barhami kya hai
Jigar Moradabadi
jo un pe guzarti hai kis ne use jaana hai
apni hi musibat hai apna hi fasana hai
Jigar Moradabadi
kamal-e-tishnagi hi se bujha lete hain pyas apni
isi tapte hue sahra ko hum dariya samajhte hain
Jigar Moradabadi
kabhi un mad-bhari aankhon se piya tha ek jam
aaj tak hosh nahin hosh nahin hosh nahin
Jigar Moradabadi
kabhi shaKH o sabza o barg par kabhi ghuncha o gul o KHar par
main chaman mein chahe jahan rahun mera haq hai fasl-e-bahaar pa
Jigar Moradabadi
junun-e-mohabbat yahan tak to pahuncha
ki tark-e-mohabbat kiya chahta hun
Jigar Moradabadi
jo na samjhe naseho phir us ko samjhate ho kyun
sath diwane ke diwane bane jate ho kyun
why do you seek to moralize to those who do not comprehend
why with these lunatics do you become a lunatic my friend?
Jigar Moradabadi
jise sayyaad ne kuchh gul ne kuchh bulbul ne kuchh samjha
chaman mein kitni mani-KHez thi ek KHamushi meri
Jigar Moradabadi
kidhar se barq chamakti hai dekhen ai waiz
main apna jam uThata hun tu kitab uTha
where does lightening strike, priest, let us look
I will raise my glass you raise your holy book
Jigar Moradabadi
