hamako miTaa sake ye zamaane me.n dam nahii.n
Jigar Moradabadi

hamako miTaa sake ye zamaane me.n dam nahii.n
hamase zamaanaa Khud hai zamaane se ham nahii.n

befaayadaa alam nahii.n, bekaar Gam nahii.n
taufiiq de Khudaa to ye ne'amat bhii kam nahii.n

[alam=sorrow; taufiiq=divine strength; ne'amat=divine blessing]

merii zubaa.N pe shikavaa-e-ahl-e-sitam nahii.n
mujhako jagaa diyaa yahii ehasaan kam nahii.n

yaa rab! hujuum-e-dard ko de aur vus'ate.n
daaman to kyaa abhii merii aa.Nkhe.n bhii nam nahii.n

[vus'ate.n=spread out]

zaahid kuchh aur ho na ho maiKhaane me.n magar
kyaa kam ye hai ki shikavaa-e-dair-o-haram nahii.n

shikavaa to ek chhe.D hai lekin haqiiqatan
teraa sitam bhii terii inaayat se kam nahii.n

marg-e-Jigar pe kyo.n terii aa.Nkhe.n hai.n ashk-rez
ik saanihaa sahii magar itanii aham nahii.n

[saanihaa=incident; aham=important]
