wo ada-e-dilbari ho ki nawa-e-ashiqana

vo adā-e-dilbarī ho ki navā-e-āshiqāna

jo diloñ ko fat.h kar le vahī fāteh-e-zamāna

ye tirā jamāl-e-kāmil ye shabāb kā zamāna

dil-e-dushmanāñ salāmat dil-e-dostāñ nishāna

kabhī husn kī tabī.at na badal sakā zamāna

vahī nāz-e-be-niyāzī vahī shān-e-ḳhusravāna

maiñ huuñ us maqām par ab ki firāq o vasl kaise

mirā ishq bhī kahānī tirā husn bhī fasāna

mirī zindagī to guzrī tire hijr ke sahāre

mirī maut ko bhī pyāre koī chāhiye bahāna

tire ishq kī karāmat ye agar nahīñ to kyā hai

kabhī be-adab na guzrā mire paas se zamāna

tirī duurī o huzūrī kā ye hai ajiib aalam

abhī zindagī haqīqat abhī zindagī fasāna

mire ham-safīr bulbul mirā terā saath hī kyā

maiñ zamīr-e-dasht-o-dariyā tū asīr-e-āshiyāna

maiñ vo saaf hī na kah duuñ jo hai farq mujh meñ tujh meñ

tirā dard dard-e-tanhā mirā ġham ġham-e-zamāna

tire dil ke TūTne par hai kisī ko naaz kyā kyā

tujhe ai 'jigar' mubārak ye shikast-e-fātehāna

wo ada-e-dilbari ho ki nawa-e-ashiqana

jo dilon ko fath kar le wahi fateh-e-zamana

ye tera jamal-e-kaamil ye shabab ka zamana

dil-e-dushmanan salamat dil-e-dostan nishana

kabhi husn ki tabiat na badal saka zamana

wahi naz-e-be-niyazi wahi shan-e-KHusrawana

main hun us maqam par ab ki firaq o wasl kaise

mera ishq bhi kahani tera husn bhi fasana

meri zindagi to guzri tere hijr ke sahaare

meri maut ko bhi pyare koi chahiye bahana

tere ishq ki karamat ye agar nahin to kya hai

kabhi be-adab na guzra mere pas se zamana

teri duri o huzuri ka ye hai ajib aalam

abhi zindagi haqiqat abhi zindagi fasana

mere ham-safir bulbul mera tera sath hi kya

main zamir-e-dasht-o-dariya tu asir-e-ashiyana

main wo saf hi na kah dun jo hai farq mujh mein tujh mein

tera dard dard-e-tanha mera gham gham-e-zamana

tere dil ke TuTne par hai kisi ko naz kya kya

tujhe ai 'jigar' mubarak ye shikast-e-fatehana
