Tabeeyat in dinon begaana-e-gham hoti jaati hai
Meray hissay ki goya har khushi kam hoti jaati hai
Wahi hai shahid-o-saaqi, magar dil bujhta jaata hai
Wahi hai shamma lekin roshni kam hoti jaati hai
Qayaamat kya yeh ai husn-e-do aalam hoti jaati hai
Ke mehfil to wahi hai, dil kashi kam hoti jaati hai
Wahi maikhaana-o-sehba, wahi saaGHar wahi seesha
Magar aavaz-e-noshanosh maddham hoti jaati hai
Wahi hai zindagi lekin 'Jigar' yeh haal hai apna
Ke jaise zindagi se zindagi kam hoti jaati hai
Meray hissay ki goya har khushi kam hoti jaati hai
Wahi hai shahid-o-saaqi, magar dil bujhta jaata hai
Wahi hai shamma lekin roshni kam hoti jaati hai
Qayaamat kya yeh ai husn-e-do aalam hoti jaati hai
Ke mehfil to wahi hai, dil kashi kam hoti jaati hai
Wahi maikhaana-o-sehba, wahi saaGHar wahi seesha
Magar aavaz-e-noshanosh maddham hoti jaati hai
Wahi hai zindagi lekin 'Jigar' yeh haal hai apna
Ke jaise zindagi se zindagi kam hoti jaati hai
