tabiyat in dino begaanaa-e-gam hoti jaati hai
mere hisse ki goyaa har khushi kam hoti jaati hai

qayaamat kyaa ye ai husn-e-do_aalam hoti jaati hai
ke mahafil to wahi hai dilakashi kam hoti jaati hai

wahi hai saahil-o-saaqi magar dil bujhataa jaataa hai
wahi hai shamma-e-dil roshani kam hoti jaati hai

wahi mayakhaana-o-rahabaan wahi shishaa wahi saagar
magar aawaaz-e-naushaanosh maddham hoti jaati hai

wahi hai zindagi lekin 'jigar' ye haal hai apanaa
ke jaise zindagi se zindagi kam hoti jaati hai
