ai husn-e-yar sharm ye kya inqalab hai

ai husn-e-yār sharm ye kyā inqalāb hai

tujh se ziyāda dard tirā kāmyāb hai

āshiq kī be-dilī kā taġhāful nahīñ javāb

us kā bas ek josh-e-mohabbat javāb hai

terī ināyateñ ki nahīñ nazr-e-jāñ qubūl

terī navāzisheñ ki zamāna ḳharāb hai

ai husn apnī hausla-afzā.iyāñ to dekh

maanā ki chashm-e-shauq bahut be-hijāb hai

maiñ ishq-e-be-niyāz huuñ tum husn-e-be-panāh

merā javāb hai na tumhārā javāb hai

mai-ḳhāna hai usī kā ye duniyā usī kī hai

jis tishna-lab ke haath meñ jām-e-sharāb hai

us se dil-e-tabāh kī rūdād kyā kahūñ

jo ye na sun sake ki zamāna ḳharāb hai

ai mohtasib na pheñk mire mohtasib na pheñk

zālim sharāb hai are zālim sharāb hai

apne hudūd se na baḌhe koī ishq meñ

jo zarra jis jagah hai vahīñ āftāb hai

vo laakh sāmne hoñ magar is kā kyā ilaaj

dil māntā nahīñ ki nazar kāmyāb hai

merī nigāh-e-shauq bhī kuchh kam nahīñ magar

phir bhī tirā shabāb tirā hī shabāb hai

mānūs-e-e'tibār-e-karam kyuuñ kiyā mujhe

ab har ḳhatā-e-shauq isī kā javāb hai

maiñ us kā ā.īna huuñ vo hai merā ā.īna

merī nazar se us kī nazar kāmyāb hai

tanhā.ī-e-firāq ke qurbān jā.iye

maiñ huuñ ḳhayāl-e-yār hai chashm-e-pur-āb hai

sarmāya-e-firāq 'jigar' aah kuchh na pūchh

ab jaan hai so apne liye ḳhud azaab hai

ai husn-e-yar sharm ye kya inqalab hai

tujh se ziyaada dard tera kaamyab hai

aashiq ki be-dili ka taghaful nahin jawab

us ka bas ek josh-e-mohabbat jawab hai

teri inayaten ki nahin nazr-e-jaan qubul

teri nawazishen ki zamana KHarab hai

ai husn apni hausla-afzaiyan to dekh

mana ki chashm-e-shauq bahut be-hijab hai

main ishq-e-be-niyaz hun tum husn-e-be-panah

mera jawab hai na tumhaara jawab hai

mai-KHana hai usi ka ye duniya usi ki hai

jis tishna-lab ke hath mein jam-e-sharab hai

us se dil-e-tabah ki rudad kya kahun

jo ye na sun sake ki zamana KHarab hai

ai mohtasib na phenk mere mohtasib na phenk

zalim sharab hai are zalim sharab hai

apne hudud se na baDhe koi ishq mein

jo zarra jis jagah hai wahin aaftab hai

wo lakh samne hon magar is ka kya ilaj

dil manta nahin ki nazar kaamyab hai

meri nigah-e-shauq bhi kuchh kam nahin magar

phir bhi tera shabab tera hi shabab hai

manus-e-e'tibar-e-karam kyun kiya mujhe

ab har KHata-e-shauq isi ka jawab hai

main us ka aaina hun wo hai mera aaina

meri nazar se us ki nazar kaamyab hai

tanhai-e-firaq ke qurban jaiye

main hun KHayal-e-yar hai chashm-e-pur-ab hai

sarmaya-e-firaq 'jigar' aah kuchh na puchh

ab jaan hai so apne liye KHud azab hai
