saans lene mein dard hotaa hai — Jigar Barelvi

tasalli aap ne di farq hai haan dil ki haalat mein
jo tham tham kar khalish hoti thi paiham hoti jaati hai

ye sher mere use sunaa do
puchhe jo koi 'jigar' main kyaa huun

ishq mein qadr-e-khastagi ki ummid
ai 'jigar' hosh ki davaa kijiye

aaj kyaa jaane kyaa hai hone ko
ji bahut chaahtaa hai rone ko

dard ho dukh ho to davaa kiije
phaT paDe aasmaan to kyaa kiije

maraz-e-ishq ko shifaa samjhe
dard ko dard ki davaa samjhe

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

faqat zamaan o makaan mein zaraa saa farq aayaa
jo ek masala-e-dard thaa abhi tak hai

hanste hue chehron se hamein hoti hai vahshat
ham log udaasi ke shajar DhunD rahe hain

shaam-e-avadh ne zulf mein gundhe nahin hain phuul
tere baghair subh-e-banaras udaas hai
