Mile Toh Hazaron Loog The Zindagi Mein Yaaro,
Woh Sab Se Alag Tha Jo Qismat Mein Nahi Tha!
Yaad Teri Bas Baat Teri Fariyad Teri;
Ya Rabb Mujhe Kaam Koi Toh Aur Bhi Ho!
Tere Ik Ishare Pe Sakit Khade Hain;
Nahi Keh Ke Sab Se Guzar Jaane Wale!
~ Jigar Moradabadi
Dil Se Teri Yaad Na Jaaye To Kya Karoon;
Tasveer Mein Tu Hi Tu Nazar Aaye To Kya Karoon;
Lene Ko To Le Aayein Tumhein Khwaboon Mein;
Par Neend Hi Na Aaye Toh Kya Karoon!
Ishq Teri Inteha, Ishq Meri Inteha;
Tu Bhi Abhi Na-Tamam, Main Bhi Abhi Na-Tamam!
Love is thy goal, and mine, too, but both Are so far novices on the path of love.
Ishq Par Zor Nahi Hai Yeh Woh Aatish 'Ghalib';
Ki Lagaye Na Lage Aur Bujhaye Na Bujhe!
Tum Agar Yaad Rakhoge Toh Inayat Hogi,
Varna Humko Kahan Tum Se Shikayat Hogi;
Yeh Toh Wahi Bewafa Logon Ki Duniya Hai,
Tum Agar Bhool Bhi Jaao Toh Riwayat Hogi!
Na Bhookh Hai Mujhe Na Daulat Ki Pyaas Baki Hai,
Milti Rahe Har Kisi Se Mohabbat Bas Yehi Kaafi Hai!
Chaahat Ke Yeh Kaise Afsane Hue,
Khud Nazron Mein Apni Begaane Hue;
Kisi Bhi Rishte Ka Khayaal Nahi Mujhe,
Ishq Mein Tere Iss Qadar Deewane Hue!
Kyon Na Gurur Karun Khud Par;
Mujhe Usne Chaha, Jisko Chahne Wale Hazaar The!
