Jalwa Baqadr-e-Zarf-e-Nazar Dekhtay Rahay

Jalwa baqadr-e-zarf-e-nazar dekhtay rahay
Kiya dekhtay hum un ko magar dekhtay rahay

Apna he aks pesh-e-nazar dekhtay rahay
Aaina rubaru tha jidhar dekhtay rahay

Un ki hareem-e-naaz kahaan aur hum kahaan
Naqsh-o-nigaar-e-parda-e-darr dekhtay rahay

Aisi bhi kuch firaaq ki raatain guzar gayeen
Jesay unhi ko pesh-e-nazar dekhtay rahay

Her lehza shaan-e-husn badalti rahi Jigar
Her aan hum jahaan-e-jigar dekhtay rahay

~Jigar's kalaam in Abida Parveen's soulful voice. I feel you owe yourself to listen to it.
