Dil udhaas hai bahut koyi paigaam hi likh do
Tum apna naam na likho, gum-naam hi likh do

Meri qismat mein gham-e-tanhayi hai lekin
Tamaam umr na likho magar ek shaam hi likh do

Zuroori nahi ki mil jaaye sukoon har kisi ko
Sare-e-bazm na aao magar benaam hi likh do

Ye jaanta hoon ki umr bhar tanha mujhko rehna hai
Magar pal do pal, ghadi do ghadi, mere naam hi likh do

Chalo hum maan lete hai ke sazaa ke mustahiq thahre hum
Koyi enaam na likho koyi ilzaam hi likh do

kasa lagta ha

khirkhi se barish ki bonde takna

apne ap ko in bondoon ki nazar kerna

kasa lagta ha

jb bijli zor se karak ker apne guse ka izhar kerte ha

or jwab main badal hans ker use manata ha

in ahsasat main jeena

kasa lagta ha

bolo kasa lagta ha

barish ka sang ankh macholi khalna

kasa lagta ha

Aankhon Mein Bas Ke Dil Mein Samaa Kar Chaley Gaye
Khwaabida Zindagi Thi Jaga Kar Chaley Gaye

Chehrey Tak Aasteen Woh Laa Kar Chaley Gaye
Kya Raaz Tha Ki Jiss Ko Chipa Kar Chaley Gaye

Rag Rag Mein Iss Tarah Woh Sama Kar Chaley Gaye
Jaisey Mujh Hi Ko Mujh Say Chura Kar Chaley Gaye

Aaye Thay Dil Ki Pyaas Bujhaaney Ke Waastey
Ikk Aag Si Woh Aur Lagaa Kar Chaley Gaye

Lab Thar-thara Ke Rah Gaye Lekin Woh Aey "Jigar"
Jaatey Huwey Nigaah Mila Kar Chaley Gaye ….!

Dard Kia Hota Hai Batain Gain Kisi Rooz
Kamal Ki Ghazal Tum Ko Sunain Gain Kisi Rooz

Thi Un Ki Zidd K Main Jaoon Un Ko Mananay
Mujh Ko Yeh Veham Tha Woh Bolain Gain Kisi Rooz

ALLAH Qasam Main Nay Tu Soocha Bhi Nahin Tha
Woh Itna Merey Dil Ko Dukhain Gain Kisi Rooz

Har Rooz Aainay Say Yeh Hi Poochta Hoon Main
Kia Rukh Pay Tabbassum Bhi Sajain Gain Kisi Rooz

Urrnay Do In Parindoon Ko Azaad Fiza Main
Tumharay Hoon Gain Agar Lout Hi Ayein Gain Kisi Rooz

Apnay Sittam Ka Dekh Lena Khud Hi Assar Tum
Zakhm-E-Jigar Tamaaam Dekhain Gain Kisi Rooz
