Agar na zohra-jabinon ke darmiyan guzre

agar na zohra-jabinon ke darmiyan guzre
to phir ye kaise kaTe zindagi kahan guzre

jo tere aariz o gesu ke darmiyan guzre
kabhi kabhi wahi lamhe bala-e-jaan guzre

mujhe ye wahm raha muddaton ki jurat-e-shauq
kahin na KHatir-e-masum par giran guzre

har ek maqam-e-mohabbat bahut hi dilkash tha
magar hum ahl-e-mohabbat kashan kashan guzre

junun ke saKHt marahil bhi teri yaad ke sath
hasin hasin nazar aae jawan jawan guzre

meri nazar se teri justuju ke sadqe mein
ye ek jahan hi nahin sainkaDon jahan guzre

hujum-e-jalwa mein parwaz-e-shauq kya kahna
ki jaise ruh sitaron ke darmiyan guzre

KHata-muaf zamane se bad-guman ho kar
teri wafa pe bhi kya kya hamein guman guzre

mujhe tha shikwa-e-hijran ki ye hua mahsus
mere qarib se ho kar wo na-gahan guzre

rah-e-wafa mein ek aisa maqam bhi aaya
ki hum KHud apni taraf se bhi bad-guman guzre

KHulus jis mein ho shamil wo daur-e-ishq-o-hawas
na raegan kabhi guzra na raegan guzre

usi ko kahte hain jannat usi ko dozaKH bhi
wo zindagi jo hasinon ke darmiyan guzre

bahut hasin manazir bhi husn-e-fitrat ke
na jaane aaj tabiat pe kyun giran guzre

wo jin ke sae se bhi bijliyan larazti thin
meri nazar se kuchh aise bhi aashiyan guzre

mera to farz chaman-bandi-e-jahan hai faqat
meri bala se bahaar aae ya KHizan guzre

kahan ka husn ki KHud ishq ko KHabar na hui
rah-e-talab mein kuchh aise bhi imtihan guzre

bhari bahaar mein taraji-e-chaman mat puchh
KHuda kare na phir aankhon se wo saman guzre

koi na dekh saka jin ko wo dilon ke siwa
muamlat kuchh aise bhi darmiyan guzre

kabhi kabhi to isi ek musht-e-KHak ke gird
tawaf karte hue haft aasman guzre

bahut hasin sahi sohbaten gulon ki magar
wo zindagi hai jo kanTon ke darmiyan guzre

abhi se tujh ko bahut nagawar hain hamdam
wo hadsat jo ab tak rawan-dawan guzre

jinhen ki dida-e-shair hi dekh sakta hai
wo inqilab tere samne kahan guzre

bahut aziz hai mujh ko unhen kya yaad 'jigar'
wo hadsat-e-mohabbat jo na-gahan guzre
